After the Fairy Disappeared Chapter 147

  Chapter 147 Intricacies

  Looking at them, He Lingchuan felt quite complacent. It's not easy to play with these man-eating monsters. He originally planned to use turtle beads, but later he had an idea and threw out a preparation, and he got the help of God Crocodile with empty words.

  Power, power, this kind of power is so easy to use, no wonder the old man is obsessed with it.

  After He Lingchuan had finished eating the seven or eight pancakes, and the bandits had finished discussing, Wu Shaoyi led his men over.

   "Can Manager He's team have a name?"

   "Yes." He Lingchuan took a sip of water, "It's called the supporting army."

   This is also the result of discussions between He Chunhua and his staff. He originally planned to name the direct line army that he personally brought to Xiazhou as the Blackwater Army, but He Yue and his staff seriously opposed it, thinking that it was too stingy to use the name of the source.

   "We are willing to join, but I want at least one lieutenant general, and the brothers under me also have their own positions."

   "Yes." He Lingchuan thought for a while, "With General Wu's qualifications, serving as a lieutenant general in the army is enough. But I have something to say first, these people under your command may be dispersed and incorporated into the entire army."

  This is also a normal operation to prevent clustering. Wu Shaoyi did not object, but felt more at ease with He Lingchuan's guarantee.

  If this kid agrees wholeheartedly, he will be closer to firing a cannon.

   "Then let's talk about the next plan." Wu Shaoyi found a tree stump and sat down.

  He has just recovered from a serious injury. Although he used forbidden techniques to replace the injury, he lost a lot of blood. It has not been recovered until now, and his face is still white.

  He had already swallowed several pills for nourishing blood and regaining energy, and was still chewing old ginseng, so he did not fall into the predicament of black eyes and shortness of breath.

  He also understands that it is best to get a big pot of ginseng soup old hen, eat the soup and meat, and then lie down and sleep for a day and a night.

  Sleep is the most nourishing blood.

  Unfortunately, objective conditions do not allow it. The prince in front of him is still waiting for his first achievement since his surrender.

  So Wu Shaoyi picked up a branch and made gestures on the beach:

   "Speaking of Xishan Road, the first few troops have already run far away. It's not easy for us to chase after them on horseback. I'm afraid we won't be able to meet Jun Sheriff He."

  He Lingchuan saw that what he drew on the ground was the shape of a nearby mountain.

"Because I plan to meet up in Xianling Village, I sent people to check the surrounding terrain in advance. The mountains here follow the water. From Desheng Town to Xianling Village, the mountains are basically near the upper reaches of Xianling Lake." Wu Shaoyi said, " It's not easy to go by land, why don't we go by water instead?”

   "By boat?" He Lingchuan turned to look at the wooden storehouse by the lake, "Aren't there enough boats?"

  There are only seven or eight boats by the lake, one of which is quite big, but it can only hold more than a hundred people at most, otherwise Lu Yao would have abandoned his horse and boarded a boat to block the officers and soldiers.

   "It's not enough, but don't forget that there are still them." Wu Shaoyi pointed to the giant crocodile on the bank, "They can also stand people on their backs, especially the crocodile god, which can carry sixty or seventy people on its own."

  The crocodile **** is more than five feet long (17 meters), longer and wider than some ferries on the big rivers. The men stood on its back, held hands and squeezed shoulder to shoulder, and dozens of people could still squeeze in.

  Lu Yao didn't dare to think about it at the time, because the agreement between himself and Crocodile God had been completed, and the other party had no obligation to help him anymore.

   But He Lingchuan is different, God Crocodile is already a member of the official family, no, the crocodile of the official family.

   "The first batch of more than 200 people went there by water. Whether it was a sneak attack or a support, it was enough to solve the urgent need." Wu Shaoyi continued, "The rest of them went by land and rode horses."

  Seeing that He Lingchuan was silent, he said again: "The most important thing right now is to contact Pei Xinyong."

   "Contact Pei Xinyong?"

   "Yes, he has 1,600 troops, and he is the most important force on the West Mountain Road. If he helps the officers and soldiers, the victory rate of the officers and soldiers will increase greatly; if he helps the bandit Lu, Governor He will be in great trouble."

  He Lingchuan was suddenly moved: "You are right!"

   At this time, God Crocodile, who was hanging aside, said unhurriedly: "Where are you going?"

"The 700 people arranged by Thief Lu at Shaoziyan never showed up. In other words, Pei Xinyong successfully completed the interception mission. The 700 people couldn't go east, so they had to retreat west." He Lingchuan pointed to the mountain shape on the ground and analyzed, " Then we must not only rush ahead of the officers and soldiers, but also better rush ahead of Pei Xinyong."

   "It's still several miles from Xianling Village to Shaoziyan, not to mention that since Lu Yaoling's arrow went up to the sky last night, Pei Xinyong should have traveled three hours earlier than us."

  It was still dark when Pei Xinyong intercepted the Shaoziyan ambush, but now the sun is already high.

  Wu Shaoyi heard this, but smiled and said: "The mountain road is rugged, and it didn't go far. If you take the water, you can catch up soon."

  The mountain road here has nine turns and eighteen turns, not ninety-nine and eighty-eight turns.

  The accompanying wide lake is for you to roam. Therefore, the villagers of Xianling Village also like to take boats when they go in and out of the mountains, whether they are giving people or carrying goods.

  He poked a point on the map: "It's best to set the end of the waterway in Desheng Town. There should be a pier along the river."

  Where there is a wharf, there is a road suitable for people and vehicles to walk on.

   "It was occupied by Lu thieves, and it is said that there are hundreds of people guarding the town." He Lingchuan questioned, "Are we still going there?"

"Even if we can get there by water, we don't have horses. How can we catch up with Pei Xinyong?" Wu Shaoyi laughed. These two hundred people killed him by surprise."

  This Mr. He is still young and has no combat experience. As long as the planning is good, it is not uncommon for two or three hundred people to surprise a camp of two or three thousand people.

He went on to say: "According to the division of labor between me and Pei Xinyong last night, I will take Lu thief, he will intercept the 700 ambush soldiers in Shaoziyan, and he will come over to join me after the task. So he will not chase all the way to Desheng Town, at most Zhumapo will turn its head. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as two hundred troops are left behind, even if the rest of the Lu bandits in the front kill their carbines, they can hold for a while."

He Lingchuan nodded: "We also predict that the 700 ambushes deployed by Lu thief at Shaoziyan will flee to Desheng Town after being attacked. People have the instinct to avoid harm, and they can attack and defend by fleeing back to the base camp. So Pei Xinyong will also drive away. Let them go to Desheng Town, in order to prevent him from making a U-turn midway, Magistrate He's team will turn into a fork in advance and rush to Qianteng Town."

  When He Chunhua formulated this strategy, he had to estimate the risk of Pei Xinyong's return. How can you say that he is also a bandit leader with a thousand troops and hundreds of troops in his hands. Once he encounters officers and soldiers head-on, wouldn't he be jealous?

   Fortunately, there is only one road from the outside world to enter Xianling Village in the second half, but when going out from the village, especially going west, there are several fork roads before and after, which provides more strategic buffers for He Chunhua's team.
