Chapter 2042 Innocent Woman 16

In fact, An Ran hoped that the enemy would keep besieging a certain place so that she could have a target to attack and save her from having to guess where the enemy would attack.

Just a few months before Li Xiu's defeat, just like in his original world, troops from the imperial court came to besiege Li Xiu's hometown, Pingyuan Mansion, where Pingyuan Town is located.

According to the development of the original world, the enemy will successfully take over Pingyuan Mansion, and then Li Xiu will lead his troops back to rescue.

In this world, development is similar.

The reason why Anron didn't cut out this plot when he built a large bastion is because the bastion built by Anron did not overlap with the city walls of various cities. In fact, Anron wanted to avoid fighting with the enemy in advance, so as not to Attracting enemy firepower too early meant that no bastion was built in the direction of Pingyuan Fucheng.

These days, a prefecture usually consists of several counties. This Pingyuan Town only belongs to one of the counties and is not around the prefecture. Therefore, when the enemy comes to attack Pingyuan Prefecture, they will naturally not encounter An Ran's bastion.

Of course, the main reason is that Ping An's bastion is not built around the prefecture or county town, but in a place with abundant fields, which is equivalent to the countryside.

Since we are far away from the prosperous county and capital, we will naturally not confront the imperial army. After all, in this era of war, we still focus on occupying the county and capital. We will not go to the countryside and occupy a certain place in the countryside. After all, you have to occupy the countryside. What's the purpose? They don't like to develop in the countryside like Enron.

Because Li Xiu led troops to rescue, Pingyuan Mansion was relieved of the siege, but just like in the original world, some stragglers wandered to various places and began to harm the people everywhere.

Fortunately, Enron has built many bastions now, and this reputation has spread. People in many places have heard that it is easy to make a living here, and they have come to Enron. Only a few are outside, so these stragglers are causing more harm than before. The body world should be less.

Of course, there are also some stragglers who came to the vicinity of the Anron Bastion, and it seems that they want to cause trouble for the Enron Bastion. However, although they are from the regular army, because they have never seen such a fort, let alone stragglers, they are just that kind of soldiers. A large army with thousands of troops defeated could not find any trouble for Enron, who was now strong and powerful. He was quickly taught a lesson by Enron and did not have any impact on Enron's bastion.

Once upon a time, a large army of thousands of people retreated. Taking advantage of the large number of people and seeing how beautiful the fortress was built by An Ran, they felt that there must be wealth in it, so they came to eat and asked An Ran to give money and food. Let them go in and rest, otherwise they will destroy their fortress and become very rampant.

It's been a long time since Anron's bastion encountered such ignorant and arrogant people. No one paid any attention to them at the moment. When they saw that no one was paying attention, they became angry and attacked the city. They gave them a hail of arrows and shot them into pieces. Hedgehog.

After doing this for several rounds, they found that no matter which direction they attacked the city, they would be shot into hedgehogs by several times the number of enemies. They could not die any more. They had no hope of climbing up the city wall. Knowing that they could not get rid of the enemy, they had no choice but to leave in frustration.

Because they didn't have much armor, everyone was too lazy to chase them, lest they go out of the city to chase and cause casualties. It would also be uneconomical to pay pensions. After those people retreated, they just cleaned up the battlefield and that was it.

After this happened several times, everyone knew that these bastions were difficult to deal with, so there were no more stragglers to continue to come and cause trouble, so as not to lose their lives in vain.

Soon it was time for Li Xiu's accident. An Ran told his subordinates about the incident and the preparations for rescue.

"According to the information we received, if I don't go to the rescue, the people will not be rescued. Now the siege of Changyang by Fang Guozheng from the imperial court has reached the closing stage. Changyang City has been out of food for a long time, and the people inside are not allowed to fight. , too hungry to pick up weapons or even stand up. I estimate that he will definitely launch a siege campaign within three to five days. By then, Changyang will be able to capture it without any attack. So I am going to go to the rescue immediately. If If you can't save everyone in Changyang City, at least save your husband." An Ran said.

Changyang was Li Xiu's base camp, and Fang Guozheng was the general sent by the imperial court.

It's not that she has to wait until now to save people, but that there is no danger. Li Xiu probably won't follow her if she goes early. She must think that he has the ability to rescue people, because Changyang has been besieged by the imperial court before, but Li Xiuting He came over and defeated the enemy. He must have thought it would work this time, because Fang Guozheng's cautious offensive made him misjudge the enemy's ability. He felt that the enemy was not very capable and would definitely persist, but he never thought that the enemy would be like this. It was almost like boiling a frog in warm water, giving him the illusion that when he woke up, he could no longer relieve his sleepiness.

Li Xiu was unwilling to leave until the last moment. This was not Enron's conjecture, but there was evidence - just two months ago, Anron had sent his men with good martial arts skills (members of the special forces set up by Anron) to mess around. When he entered the city, he asked Li Xiu for his opinion and asked him to take him away. At that time, Li Xiu was unwilling. He felt that there was still hope for him to persevere.

At that time, there was not much food in Changyang, but Li Xiu felt that the more times like this, the more determined everyone was to fight against the odds, and the besiegers would win and should be able to successfully overcome the difficulties.

What he said was correct. After that, Li Xiu's men became more determined to break out of the encirclement, causing many casualties to Fang Guozheng every time.

However, Fang Guozheng did not take the initiative to attack, but only trapped and defended as much as possible. Therefore, although there were casualties, they were not to the extent of collapse and retreat, and they were still surrounded.

There was no relief, so the morale of Li Xiu's people plummeted. This was normal. After all, the food was running out, but there was no way to break out, so morale would naturally drop.

Regarding An Ran's words about rescuing Li Xiu, no matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they all agree on the surface. After all, Li Xiu is An Ran's husband. It would be outrageous to be able to save Li Xiu but not to save him, especially if it would have a negative impact on the reputation of his own leader. Negative Effects.

Everyone was confident that they could save the people. After all, the members of the special team were all very good at martial arts. It wouldn't be a problem to sneak in and take away a few people.

In fact, for this rescue, An Ran had started to prepare beforehand - he sent people to sneak in and then determine the direction of the breakout. Once the city was broken, the enemies poured in and the enemies besieged outside the city dispersed. , you can immediately decide which direction to slip out from, so as not to step on it properly and make it difficult to run away.

Now that everyone agreed, An Ran arranged for the experts from the special team, plus himself, to prepare for action.

I heard that An Ran was also going, but everyone opposed this proposal.

"It's OK for the members of the special forces to go. Captain, you don't want to go. If there is any danger..." Many people said this.

The reason why I say this is because everyone is afraid that if the rescue fails and An Ran gets involved, it will be bad.
