Qibei County

Pei Ziyun squinted his eyes, looking at the beach, the waves crashed against the side of the boat, the sky gradually brightened, and the fields in the distance were green. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Docking, anchoring, springboarding, disembarking!"

The sound of the horn pierced the silence and startled an unknown number of birds, which flew into the sky and headed off into the distance.

First of all, a small number of cavalry went down, quickly inspecting the surrounding area for more than ten miles to see if there was an enemy, and then the footsteps were cascading, and the foot soldiers pressed their pockets and stepped down, and the bright red tassels shone in the sun.

Pei Ziyun checked the terrain, looked at the sky and waved his hand: "Simply set up camp, bury the pot and cook after you go ashore!"

"Yes, real people. Pei Ziyun's herald listened to it, and he was shouting, that is, riding a horse to herald.

With the order passed down, soon the team continued to move to the shore, and a trace of smoke rose, looking around, Pei Ziyun glanced at it: "Come on, take the map." ”

A lieutenant took the map and put it in front of him: "Real person, we have arrived at the scope of Qibei County, this is Yukoudu." ”

As the lieutenant said this, Pei Ziyun checked it on the map, compared it around Qibei County, and said: "Qibei County has eight counties and one county, and the fast boat that set off in advance was sent out to find out the situation clearly, and how about the contact with the county gentry officials?"

The captain on one side handed over the wrenched hot towel, prepared for the topic, and said: "It has been checked clearly, there are 10,000 soldiers in the county, and 5,000 are scattered in the county. ”

"Who said I was going to attack at once? Pei Ziyun calmed his face and listened attentively, and said with a sneer.

Ren Wei wore a green shirt and stood beside Pei Ziyun with a scarf, listening quietly, He Qingqing was transporting cattle and sheep for the first time, and there were people who returned to the island for the second time, including Ren Wei, so he stayed by his side.

As he was talking, there was a pot to cook the rice, Pei Ziyun glanced at it: "Everyone, eat first, and set off directly after the meal, and when you arrive at Qibei County, I will continue to arrange the next battle." ”

He said to Meng Yao again: "If you unload the grain and grass, you can go back and contain the Yingzhou Sailor, so that it can't move, and you can't let it interfere in the battle situation!"

"Stay in the detachment, Uncle Zhongqin, you protect the prince to stay on the ship, keep in touch at any time, and transport grain and grass, and wait for me to capture the county town, and then move the army is not too late!"

"Yes, real person!" several generals around him stood up and responded loudly.

The king of Chengde seemed to have some opinions, but seeing that Zhong Qinbo looked like he was taking it for granted, he also swallowed his words.

Qibei County

General Dong Man stood on the city tower and looked from afar, only to see the smoke and dust on the Pingchuan getting closer and closer, the earth trembling faintly, and almost at the same time, a banner appeared on the horizon, and the army was in order.

Dong Man estimated that there were at least 15,000 people.

In front of the army, this was a group of cavalry, whistling, constantly observing the situation nearby, and soon, most of the officers and soldiers rolled in, waving flags, and slowly concentrated five miles in front of the city.

Seeing that there were more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, the generals around Dong Man couldn't help but sweat, although it had been against for half a year, but the imperial court had been under pressure for a long time, and everyone was still under great psychological pressure.

The most important thing is that although he claims to be 10,000 people, in fact, there are only 1,000 real veterans, and all the others are newly recruited soldiers, and there is no bottom on how to fight the battle.

Dong Man's expression was quite calm, and when he looked carefully, he saw that the imperial army was solemnly arrayed, the military discipline was strict, and there was no noise in the entire military array.

When Dong Man observed, Pei Ziyun also looked over.

The city is towering, the banner on the city is clear, and the troops on the city are numerous, looking at the dense army on the city, Chen Yong, the general who followed, felt a chill on his body, staring at the city, and his expression was also a little uneasy.

Chen Yong glanced at the captain holding the Ace Card and the Son of Heaven Sword who was following Pei Ziyun's side, frowned inadvertently, and stepped forward to say: "My lord, the army in the city is strong and well prepared, and if we attack strongly, I am afraid that we will suffer heavy losses." ”

Pei Ziyun glanced at Chen Yong, his face was expressionless, and he said for a long time: "Who said that I was going to attack the city immediately, give an order, send out the scout battalion, and quickly control the surrounding fifty miles." ”

"Yes!" the herald pointed to the messenger quickly.

Glancing at the continuous army behind, Pei Ziyun said again: "Build a village according to the standard, dig a deep ditch, and bury the whole army to make rice." ”

With Pei Ziyun's order, another team of heralds went out.

"Get the map. ”

On Pei Ziyun's side, a pro-soldier took out the map and put it in front of him, and the group of generals gathered and looked at it.

"Come, let's arrange the battle. Pei Ziyun put the map on the ground and beckoned the surrounding officers to see: "According to the intelligence, there are 10,000 soldiers in the county, but don't be afraid, there are only 1,000 veterans in it, but the city is strong and the food is sufficient, we only have 20,000, and it is difficult to fight, and even if it is defeated, it will suffer heavy losses." ”

All the generals were all in the jaws, and defending the city had more than three times the advantage over attacking the city, and one of them said: "The wire report said, isn't there a number of pseudo-officials who have expressed their cooperation?

Pei Ziyun waved his hand: "The internal response to the city should be opened, in fact, it is only established when there is an absolute advantage, or it is at most a ventilated message to leave a way back." ”

"Our army is only 20,000, and there is no force to make the puppet officials in the city open the city and rebel, don't mention it. Pei Ziyun squinted his eyes, his pupils were faint, and he used his stick to put a little on Qibei County: "So we can't directly attack the county town, but change the balance of power - first capture the counties." ”

Ren Wei listened carefully on the side, corresponding to the map.

"What does it mean not to attack the county and attack the county?" The surrounding generals were puzzled, not knowing why, after looking around, Pei Ziyun said: "First easy and then difficult, have you seen a snowball? 10,000 troops, it is very difficult for us to take it immediately, even if we take it, the loss will be large, but what about the county town where we only have a few hundred to 1,000 soldiers?"

Chen Yong said: "This is easy, but will other thieves support it?"

"It's the big net I laid in advance. Pei Ziyun sneered, paused, pointed at the counties with a stick and said: "Now, the counties around the imperial court are attacking and defending, and the counties to which the Marquis of Jibei belongs have their own pressure, and they can't draw troops to support at all." ”

"The only one who can support is the state headquarters. ”

"There are only 10,000 people in Kezhou City, although 50,000 recruits are recruited, can they fight?"

"If you really want to get out of the city, I'll fight it!"

Ren Wei is a smart person, although he can't speak, but he immediately understands, and he is really convinced to the extreme.

suppressed on all sides, the original intention was to contain the counties and counties from moving, and so did the sailors.

If the enemy can't move, he will naturally be able to calmly break through each one.

"Chen Yong, you lead 10,000 people to garrison. Just listened to Pei Ziyun talking.

"Yes!"

Chen Yong stepped forward to receive the order.

"If you build 30,000 camps and bury pots to cook, you will make the city unclear. Pei Ziyun said: "But it doesn't matter if you find out, there are only 10,000 in the city, most of the recruits, and your 10,000 court officers and soldiers are all sufficient, and they can't contain it, and our military law will deal with it." ”

"Yes!" Chen Yong responded loudly: "The last general now has food and elite soldiers, and if there is a slight defeat, you will correct me in military law!"

"Zou Hu, you give the order to go down, the troops of our three counties near Qibei County, in addition to the necessary defense, bring siege machinery to the camp, at least 10,000. ”

"Yes!" replied.

Pei Ziyun paced a few steps, and sneered on his face: "In addition to my regular soldiers, I also controlled the three states, and the military expenditure alone cost two million and two hundred thousand taels of silver in half a year." ”

"And the state and county treasury has not yet counted the money and grain, and one more day will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, so the imperial court can't wait much time, we have to work step by step, and race against time. ”

"Tonight, I personally commanded 10,000 people, attacked the eight counties of Xiashui and Lushan, and immediately notified the puppet officials of the eight counties in advance, telling them that the imperial army had arrived, and if they didn't want to be executed as a traitor and bring disaster to the family, it would be time to rebel against Ge Neiying. ”

"I don't have an absolute advantage in the county government, but in the county, more than ten times the number of troops, and if you don't surrender, you won't be killed. ”

"Yes!"

The men looked at each other and answered loudly.

Xiashui County

There are people patrolling in the county town of Huangshui, and the county order invites Li Yue, the garrison general in the city, to come, Li Yue wonders, steps up, feels a cold body, and looks at it when it is cloudy, and the raindrops have been sprinkled.

At this time, he had already arrived at the restaurant, and he didn't pay attention to it, waved his hand, and the soldiers were distributed on the left and right, and he entered inside.

Delicacies were already served inside, and when Li Yue came in, the county order greeted him.

"County Order, why did you invite me today?" Li Yue did not sit down, looked at the county order and asked, the county order is the person who serves the Hou Ye, and some of them stay in their original positions, but the military positions are all Hou Ye's old department.

"General Li, I am a relative, the imperial army is said to have arrived, and now I don't know where it is, which is terrifying. The county commander looked at the general and said, looking worried.

Staring at the county order, General Li sneered: "Everything is coordinated by the national government, and you have to think about these things in any turn." ”

Before the words fell, he suddenly heard the sound of a horn in the distance, Li Yue was holding a cup in his hand, which fell to the ground, and there was a knock on the door, shouting: "General, it's not good, it's not good." ”

"What's the situation?" Li Yue said angrily.

The soldiers rushed over, with fear on their faces: "General, tens of thousands of troops outside are besieging the city, and from the city, there are countless of them, and you can't see the end at a glance!"

"What? quick, quick, let's go to the city. Li Yue shouted loudly and went to the city, and when he arrived at the city, the county commander and Li Yue looked down, and their faces turned pale.

The officers and soldiers who arrived first lined up solemnly, the military discipline was strict, the military formation was neat, Li Yue was an old soldier, at this time he carefully distinguished, and his heart was cold: "Although there are not tens of thousands, at least ten thousand!"

At this moment, a cavalry came out, stopped at a hundred paces, and shouted to the city: "Listen to the city, the imperial army has arrived, you wait for the county town to be short, and the soldiers are less than 1,000, surrender quickly, and you can avoid death according to the internal merits, and you can even wear the guilt and make meritorious service." ”

"If you don't surrender, once you move the army and become a traitor, you will not only crush yourself, but also harm your family, so you should think about it carefully, so as not to regret it!"

"The court gives you half an hour to choose, and then don't say it unpredictably. ”

After shouting, the cavalry retreated.

Everyone in the city looked at the banners under the entire county seat, a team of foot soldiers were stacked on top of each other, ready to go, and not far away was Ding Dingdang, a craftsman who accompanied the army, assembling shield cars and ladders.

Relative to these hustle and bustle, the Chinese army is in a large array, standing still, except for the occasional neighing of war horses, the rest is silent, and the unfathomable atmosphere rushes out, which makes people creepy.

"This is a strong army!" Suddenly, everyone's faces turned pale and trembled.
