Chapter 135 Interception
(Fifth update.)
Time passed in dullness, and the atmosphere in Nanliang Mansion became more and more dull. The people are fleeing crazily. Although there are experts among the people, most of them are still ordinary people; and these people are frightened by the artillery fire. Coupled with Zhao Guoshan's previous despicable methods, it made ordinary people fear like snakes and scorpions.
Faced with this situation, Zhao Guoshan was powerless to stop it; the crazy and bloody suppression last night, coupled with Anyang's performance this morning, had already made the people of Nanliang Mansion see through Zhao Guoshan's hypocrisy.
Zhao Guoshan was already annoying enough, but at this moment, someone suddenly came and said that there was something important to report.
"Lord Governor, the younger one was sent by Wang Ziqiang, the county magistrate of Xishan County. This morning, we saw Liu Leigang from Anyang leading more than 130 locomotives to the seaside of Xishan County to receive a large amount of supplies. The one who delivered the supplies was Three big white ships.
Now the three big ships have not left, they are moored by the sea. "
"What? They transported by sea? How is this possible!" Zhao Guoshan stood up in surprise.
Wencheng Li Yuanming narrowed his eyes, "What a Anyang, it was transported by sea! I finally understand why Anyang didn't choose Zhongshan County, but chose our Luliang County! That's it! That's it!
My lord, immediately dispatch elites and strictly order the counties by the sea to send troops to cut off the supply line of Anyang. "
Guo Guibang also suddenly realized: "No wonder the traitor Zheng Yuezhong said that the shells were fired from the sea! How big is the big ship?"
The visitor roughly described it: about 16 to 70 feet in length, more than 40 feet in width, white, it seems that it is not an ordinary wooden hull boat, because the appearance is smooth and seamless.
Listening to this description, Li Yuanming narrowed his eyes, "Is it possible that this big ship is made of iron?"
After being shocked, Zhao Guoshan also calmed down, "Don't care if it's made of iron or not, Guo Guibang and Zhao Youdan, you immediately lead elite troops to intercept Anyang's transport team along the way."
Wencheng Li Yuanming added: "My lord, let all the elite soldiers disguise themselves as ordinary fleeing civilians. In addition, since the three large ships in Anyang are anchored by the sea and have not left, it means that the Anyang army will inevitably have a second supply operation.
Let the elite soldiers who make up ordinary people follow Anyang's supply team, and after they are far away from Anyang's main force, look for opportunities to annihilate them! "
Guo Guibang and Zhao Youdan immediately selected 2,000 elite soldiers, changed into civilian clothes, and set off with only flying swords, some practical magic weapons, and a large number of talisman seals. Among these elite soldiers, there are still more than 200 young masters of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and Guo Guibang himself is still a master of the Golden Core Stage. The rest are all elites above the seventh floor of the Qi refining period.
Guo Guibang and others lingered next to the Anyang soldier camp for a while, and they saw Liu Leigang leading more than 130 empty locomotives heading east.
"Follow!"
More than 2,000 elite soldiers from Luliang County were scattered, like fleeing civilians, advancing in disorder; with the help of familiarity with the local area, these soldiers sometimes hid, sometimes went to mountain villages and counties to "visit relatives", sometimes disguised as traders, etc. It was hanging far behind Liu Leigang and others.
Because almost everyone in the Immortal Realm practiced, even ordinary people carried weapons with them, so these soldiers wore weapons openly and aboveboard.
It's a pity that Liu Leigang, who has been going well recently, has become a bit cocky. In addition, the previous supply went well, so he didn't do a good job in the investigation, so he led the locomotive team to the East China Sea.
Only gradually, Liu Leigang became vigilant - after all, he was an old general, and he still noticed something strange.
"Is there a lot of people around? Is this vendor a little too fake? There is a problem. All the locomotives accelerate and approach the sea at the maximum speed."
As soon as the locomotive team accelerated, Guo Guibang and Zhao Youdan knew they had been exposed, and they were already far away from the main force of Anyang, so they immediately ordered an attack!
The vendors put down their cart loads and took out weapons and seals from them; the surrounding "common people" also took off their outer clothes to reveal their strong clothes. More than 2,000 elites began to accelerate and rushed towards Liu Leigang's convoy.
The speed of the current locomotive is not very fast, that is, the speed of 60 kilometers per hour; and the pursuers are all cultivators, hitting at full speed and cooperating with spells, it must exceed 60 kilometers!
Liu Leigang commanded his subordinates to fight back, and the guns slammed together; these musketeers are also cultivators, so it goes without saying that they are accurate. But the opponent is also a good soldier, and quickly learns how to dodge guns-curve forward.
"Made, these guys learn so fast!" Liu Leigang scolded, "Prepare talismans, if you get too close and can't draw your hands, use talismans and spells to attack."
The two sides fought all the way, relying on strong firepower and the use of talismans regardless of the cost, Liu Leigang led the team forward and approached the sea.
But Guo Guibang and Zhao Youdan were not idiots either. They quickly mastered the laws of guns and made the team spread out. At the same time, let some faster foundation-building stage masters rush to the front of the convoy, using spells, talismans, etc. to hinder the convoy's progress.
The battle can be said to be very fierce. Liu Leigang's locomotive team actually started to have their locomotives destroyed! And casualties are inevitable!
But Lvliang County also paid a heavy price. More than 2,000 people died and nearly 600 people died, while Liu Leigang only lost a dozen locomotives and eight people! With the protection of locomotives, the casualties of soldiers were greatly reduced!
But this time, Guo Guibang and Zhao Youdan also became ruthless, and they had to put out Liu Leigang's team no matter what—that is, they could manipulate artillery, and they were transporting supplies!
Walk all the way and fight all the way, fight all the way and die all the way. With the advancement, Luliang County's local advantages finally came into play, and more and more counties and towns began to send troops for reinforcements.
As a result, when Liu Lei just arrived at the beach, there were only 110 locomotives left, and 54 people died. This is the first time that the locomotive team has been killed or injured, and one tenth of the staff has been reduced!
However, the encirclement and suppression team in Luliang County has increased from more than 1,400 people at the least to more than 9,000!
Wang Ziqiang, the magistrate of Xishan County near the sea, brought more than 800 soldiers to dare to come, and the number of Luliang County increased to 10,000!
Nearly ten thousand people surrounded Liu Leigang's team in a half-moon shape by the sea.
Guo Guibang came out more and more, "All Anyang people, none of you will survive today! Kill me Luliang County man and start a civil war. Only death can wash away your sins! Pay for your life!"
"Pay for your life! Pay for your life!"...
The mighty voice came from the mouths of tens of thousands of soldiers, the sound was like a torrent, and it seemed to wash away the courage of the soldiers in Anyang.
Amidst the uproar, Guo Guibang and Zhao Youdan flew into the sky, overlooking the big ship in the distance. After seeing the big ship clearly, Guo Guibang and Zhao Youdan gasped, "This is not an ordinary ship, this is a warship. There are 11 cannons on one ship. The cannons at the bow seem to be even bigger!"
Zhao Youdan looked at the distance, "This big ship is three or four miles away from us, so there shouldn't be any danger."
It was when Liu Leigang bombarded the city wall of Nanliang Mansion earlier that the distance was only two miles, which created such an illusion for Zhao Youdan.
Guo Guibang hesitated a little, and was about to speak, when he suddenly noticed that three large ships in the distance started to move sideways.
"Are you going to run?" Zhao Youdan mocked. But the next moment, Zhao Youdan encountered a scene that he would never forget in his life!
