Chapter 118: Providence
Lu Weixin has always listened to Guo Wenying, so the two of them had already set up a good person in the camp tent, just waiting for Chu Tang to come in. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf he is willing, he can do it, if he is unwilling, he can only be wronged first.
Guo Wenying asked Chu Tang to be taken into custody, and then raised the account to convene the generals to discuss the matter, telling them that the so-called imperial court wanted to negotiate peace, and it was the Warat people who were in a suspicious formation, trying to confuse the Northwest Army and buy time to transfer troops.
She immediately ordered the beheading of the commanders who had come to herald, and angrily denounced the Varats for their cunning and daring to deceive them.
She said in a loud voice: "All the generals are men of flesh and blood, and now that there is only the last trembling left, how can they give up all their efforts? If it is a man, he will take Liangzhou and drive Wara out of the border." Even if the imperial court really wants to negotiate peace, it will fight this battle first. ”
Most of these generals didn't want to negotiate peace, and the Northwest Army had won successive victories, and it was when morale was high, and they all wanted to drive Wara out in one go, and when they saw that Guo Wenying said that it was Wara's treacherous plan, they all obeyed.
Guo Wenying's heart was a little calm, and he ordered the army to then march and go straight to Liangzhou.
The last battle, which is simple to say, is the hardest battle, Guo Wenying transferred all eighteen artillery pieces to the army, and all the guns were also used by the Western Route Army. Lu Huaidong sent people to transport all the siege weapons overnight, and he moved a pile of stones on the tower of Jizhou City, intending to defend Jizhou and wait for their triumphant return.
Late at night, Hanyuegou is still full of ghost fires, and the glow is charming. When the night wind blows, there will be a whining sound in the ditch, like the cry of the 150,000 border soldiers who died here in Jingde's seventh year.
The big tent of the Northwest Army was brightly lit but silent. Zhang Qiang stayed in Guo Wenying's big tent, glanced at the tent door with some fear, and finally opened his mouth to break the silence in the tent, "General, can we win this battle?"
Guo Wenying glanced up at Zhang Qiang and asked, "What do you say?" We have surrounded Liangzhou on three sides, and Helan Mountain is in the west, and Agula can't get out of the city even if he wants to. ”
Zhang Qiang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "That general will definitely be able to wipe out all the Warat troops." ”
Guo Wenying smiled, this is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do.
She knew in her heart that this battle would be the biggest battle in her life.
He looked down at the map on the bookcase for a while, and ordered, "Go and invite Xu Hai, Xu Heng and Lu Weixin to come." ”
Zhang Qiang retreated, and after a while, the three of them came neatly dressed. Although it was late at night, they didn't feel sleepy, and they all wore helmets and armor, ready to fight at any time.
As soon as Xu Hai entered the tent, he saw Guo Wenying sitting in front of the handsome seat and looking down at the map, and couldn't help laughing, "The general is really getting more and more like a marshal." ”
Guo Wenying smiled, she also knew that the generals under her were not completely convinced of her, after all, she was too young to suppress these people without fighting a few beautiful battles.
This invasion of Warat, from the north to the west, occupied Liangzhou, Jizhou, and Jingsanzhou, and all military deployments also showed a long-term deployment from north to west.
Jingzhou is the heaviest defense, followed by Jizhou, and finally the weakest is Liangzhou. Judging from the deployment of Wara, they planned to form a confrontation with the imperial court across the river with the Central Plains, but after the Northwest Army successively broke through Jingzhou and Jizhou, this situation was completely broken. Although Liangzhou's defense is weak, it is necessary to prevent Wara from breaking the kettle and sinking the boat, and press the treasure on this last straw.
On December 20, Guo Wenying took 5,000 men and horses, swaggering through the countryside and towns near Jizhou, and gradually went deeper into the interior, with more than 100,000 horses remaining in Wara, with Yingchuan Mansion, the state capital of Jizhou as the center, with Xuyang City in the west and Luzhou City in the south, showing a triangular pattern of supporting each other. If you want to attack Liangzhou, you have to cut off their wings first, so as to prevent the Wara army from taking advantage of the chaos to attack Jizhou.
Along the way, Guo Wenying encountered several small groups of Warat cavalry who robbed villages and plundered towns, ranging from a dozen or hundreds of people to three or four hundred, and fought several encounters.
Originally, Lu Weixin wanted to be with her, but Guo Wenying had another important task for him, and these small groups of cavalry became a good target for her to practice.
In addition to purging the remaining troops this time, the most important thing is to observe the terrain and prepare for the fight against Xuyang and Luzhou. After four or five days of inspection, there was a lot of gain. She finally got all the information in her head and drew a map that belonged only to her.
Everything has been laid out, and in the end, who will die depends on which side Providence stands.
?????????????? On December 22, the sky was overcast, and the very low and heavy clouds made people feel depressed, and the north wind blew, rolling up the snow flakes. The wind from the northwest was very hard, and it hurt like a knife on the face.
It was not a good weather, and it was not suitable for war, especially siege warfare, which was far more difficult to fight in the field than the Warat army in the city.
Ten miles away stands majestically in Liangzhou City, the city head is full of people, the city gate is closed, and there are no people in the circle below the city.
As soon as noon passed, the Southern Qi army began its formal attack, and there was a brief silence on the battlefield that had been raging all morning.
After a while, the trembling drums slowly sounded, and a huge phalanx shaped like geese flying slowly moved out of the field.
Outside the city of Liangzhou, there are four gates in the east, west, north and south, and at the same time, a neat and neat huge phalanx appears on the vast field, like a giant goose with wings flying, entrenched in this land.
This is also a newly trained formation, the phalanx erects huge shields in front and back, left and right, even the top of the head is tightly covered, the soldiers hide behind the giant shield, stepping on the drum beat at the same time, stepping on the same pace, tens of thousands of people trampling at the same time, making a huge neat sound, shaking people's hearts.
The Warat army on the tower of the city was so thrilled that they had already shouted before they arrived.
The generals of Warat shouted, speaking the incomprehensible words of Warat, and the shocked noise gradually quieted down.
Guo Wenying has always believed that the Warat people could not see the situation clearly and beat the Han people on the territory of the Han people, which undoubtedly made them lose their natural advantages. Because this is not their vast grassland, and it is not their life of herding and hunting. This is the Central Plains, the Central Plains with thousands of years of civilization accumulation, and the Han people have been the masters of the Central Plains since the Han Dynasty, because they are more suitable to live in this land.
Warat is different, their freedom is in the grassland, the center of gravity of life is in the grassland, and they can only bring humiliation on themselves if they rashly run to other people's territory. If they want to replace it, they have to see if there is this green smoke coming out of the grave of the ancestor of the king of Warat.
After a brief shock from the Warat soldiers on the tower, the commander of the garrison commanded backwards: "Archers, prepare to shoot!"
