Chapter twenty nine

"Then it is Xiao Wangzhuang."

Ying Yi stood at the intersection, pointed to the path and said, "Xiao Wangzhuang is on the edge of Fangcheng Mountain. It should have been a peaceful place..." He sighed, "Now that matters are urgent, I want to transport the military pay to Xiao Wangzhuang first, hide it first, and then go to Ye County immediately."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Wang Zhongguan and others: "What do you think?"

Wang Zhongguan had any other ideas? He hurriedly said, "Hide it first, let's talk about it. We care about him from Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang!"

Zheng Liu nodded too.

Ying Yi said: "Okay, let's go to Xiaowangzhuang immediately."

A group of carriages and horses followed the familiar path of Ying Yi, and Xiao Wangzhuang was already in front of him.

After passing through the withered woods and looking at the desolate and simple grave at the burnt entrance of the village, Ying Yi felt much more depressed. But suddenly he heard the sound and looked at the village and shouted: "Who is it?!"

Then I saw someone walking out of the devastated village and it turned out to be an acquaintance: "Brother Zheng Jiu?! Why are you here?!"

It turned out to be Zheng Jiu!

Zheng Jiu was also surprised and rushed over: "Brother Ying, why did you come here to escort the military pay?"

Zheng Liu came over from behind: "What's going on?"

After hearing Zheng Liu's explanation, Ying Yi finally understood.

Zheng Jiu came here to send supplies.

Ying Yi was also kept in the dark and never knew about it. However, it was Zheng Yunzhi who did it. He asked Zheng Jiu to send twenty stones of food, some cloth, clothes, salt, and daily necessities.

Needless to say, Ying Yi also knew the reason.

He couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart.

"In the morning, I came here on the order of the master." Zheng Jiu said: "Sun Xiucai and I have gone into the mountain now and have not returned yet. I am waiting here."

Then he asked, "You guys are..."

He looked at the chariots and horses coming in from behind and couldn't help but say, "Did you transport the military pay here?"

Zheng Liudao: "There are changes in the county town or there may be war. We dare not transport military pay directly to Ye County. Brother Ying suggested that we hide the military pay first and find out the situation before talking about it."

"What?! The county town has changed?!" Zheng Jiu was immediately anxious: "What should I do if the master?!"

"No, I want to go back immediately. The master has not many soldiers and horses. If there is something wrong, it may be difficult to support it." He hurriedly left.

Ying Yi grabbed him and said, "Don't worry. I'll be with you later."

Now is not a time to talk nonsense, and there is not so much time to waste. Ying Yi directed the soldiers to transport the pay of the soldiers into the burned ruins and buried it, covering it with grass dust. It took another half an hour to do everything.

Ying Yi said to Wang Zhongguan: "There is a change in Ye County. I don't know what the situation is. I must go back. I don't know what Zhongguan is planning?"

Wang Zhongguan hesitated: "If there is a change in Ye County, what kind of reform will it be?"

Ying Yi pondered: "Maybe the thief army besieged the city."

"Then we won't go." Wang Zhongguan said quickly: "Our family will rest here for a while."

Ying Yi knew that he would definitely not go. This king's official was afraid of death, so how could he go to the "Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den" with Ying Yi?

Ying Yi nodded: "Then the official rests here first. I think it's better to go into the mountain to avoid it. This place may not be safe. I'll go to Ye County. If Ye County is not in a way, I'll come back. If so..."

Wang Zhongguan nodded in understanding and said sharply: "You are unparalleled in courage, so you must be cautious."

Ying Yi smiled: "Thank you for your concern at the middle official."

He said, "I'm going there, time is tight. I'll ride away the horses here first."

The Zhongguan waved his hand: "It should be."

At that time, more than 200 people, Ying Yi, Zheng Jiu, and Zheng Liu, did not delay any further. They removed the horses pulling the cart, and the infantry was powered as cavalry. There were not enough horses, so they rode one by one and three by one. Even the fifty horses of the Dongchang Fanzi were used by Ying Yi.

Wang Zhongguan saw more than 200 people leaving, and couldn't help but sigh and said to Hu Miao: "Our family has fallen this time. I don't know if he can come back if he goes."

Hu Miao said: "I think if he is alone, even thousands of troops may not be able to stop him. But if he wants to protect Ye County, it may not work."

"Our family is unimaginable now. It's better to wait for that scholar Sun to come down the mountain and hide it in the mountains with him earlier. This chaos is not our place."

...

Ying Yi and his team rushed forward, but they were not far from Ye County. Soon, they arrived near the outskirts of Ye County.

The closer Ye County was, Ying Yi felt a more urgent breath, which filled the air. Ying Yi rode on the horse, raised his eyes and looked at it, and smoke and dust rolled in front of him. He quickly waved his hand and stopped the soldiers: "Get off the horse and rest, prepare for the battle!"

These soldiers were not trained according to cavalry, they were infantrymen. Although many people could ride horses, they could not fight cavalry. They were new soldiers. When they encountered an enemy, they would be much more calm than when they were on horseback.

Zheng Jiu, Zheng Liu, the chief banner officers and the small banner officers quickly commanded the troops to line up.

The small army formed by Zheng Yunzhi is not complicated. The troops are only 500 snatchers, archers, and 60 archers, and one hundred households, with only twelve archers. As for firearms, to be honest, Ye County has them. But not many, and the quality of the firearms in stock is generally not up to standard, rusted, exploded, and stuck. Apart from the few tiger squat cannons on the top of the city, Ye County has basically no more firearms available.

Although Zheng Yunzhi worked hard, it was not easy to form these hundreds of people because he lacked resources. As for cavalry, he didn't have to think about it.

Under the command of officers at all levels, more than 200 people were arranged in a formation, with spearmen in front and archers in the back. The soldiers sat cross-legged, resting their energy, holding the spears high, like a forest.

The smoke and dust were approaching, Ying Yi's eyes narrowed and he said, "It's Zhou Li."

He looked back and said to Zheng Jiu and the others: "I'll go and welcome them, be careful."

Without losing his words, Ying Yi had already rode his horse out.

Zhou Li was extremely embarrassed and was depressed and wanted to die. Suddenly, he saw someone forming a formation in front of him. When he saw someone rushing out, he looked carefully and couldn't help but feel overjoyed: "It's a hundred households!"

Several soldiers shouted in surprise: "Hundred Houses!"

Ying Yi rushed over and shouted, "Zhou Li, return to the formation quickly."

Then he raised his sword and pierced into the group of bandits chasing Zhou Li and his men!

The sword light swept through, and the blood and flesh flew everywhere. In just a moment, hundreds of bandit soldiers killed were frightened and frightened, scattered and collapsed.

Ying Yi did not stop catching the enemy, letting the bandits disperse and hurried back to the horse formation.

“How is the situation?”

He asked before he could speak.

Zhou Li gasped heavily, his face darkened: "The thief army besieged Ye County. I went closer to check and was driven to death by the thieves. Fortunately, the hundred households came in time, otherwise..." His expression was dim: "A dozen brothers have all broken down, I..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Li shouted: "Hundred households, you are unparalleled in courage, go and save the county master! There are only more than 300 people left in the county, and the county master is hard to support it!"

Ying Yi's face was as iron as iron, but he was very calm: "How many bandits are there in the besieged city?!"

"No less than five thousand!" Zhou Li said hurriedly.

"Five thousand." Ying Yi sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Do you know which thief leader is?"

Zhou Li shook his head: "I don't know."

Zheng Jiu and others beside him shouted at Lianlian: "Brother Ying, send troops quickly!"
