Chapter 697: Going to War
The army of the Marquis of Dingyuan did not give Gu Yanqi a chance to delay time.
When the lord of the government had not yet completed the gathering of the people, the army of the Marquis of Dingyuan attacked the city.
"Defend Qilin Town!" Gu Yanqi gave the heaviest order.
10,000 soldiers of the vanguard battalion, under the personal leadership of Gu Yanqi, blocked the enemy at the north gate of Qilin Town.
At the same time, the lord of the mansion, who was calling on the people, seemed to hear General Gu's order to "defend Qilin Town", and a comfortable smile appeared on his face.
Under the city wall, the dense torches made Gu Yanqi's heart continue to sink.
Now, even if there is no information from the spies, she knows that the main army of Dingyuan Marquis has really arrived.
"The order, Captain Yan, Deputy Captain Miao, and Captain Xie Qianfu each led 3,000 men and horses, Captain Yan was responsible for the archers and trebuchets to take the initiative to attack the enemy, Captain Xie Qianfu was mainly responsible for defense, pay attention to the enemy troops besieging the city, and be sure not to let them break through the city gate, as for Deputy Captain Miao, he was responsible for substitution, as well as logistical support to other soldiers, and be sure to ensure that the soldiers' weapons and other weapons were sufficient. ”
"Yes!"
"Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Reinforcements will arrive soon, as long as we hold on, we will win, and when the enemy army is defeated and retreats, I will ask for credit for you!"
"General Xie!"
The atmosphere of the pioneer camp was suddenly mobilized by Gu Yanqi.
There was a dense firelight under the city wall, and if you have a dense phobia, you will definitely be stunned by this dense firelight.
The voice of "Open the city gate and don't kill!" came from below.
Gu Yanqi turned to the commander of the only remaining group of soldiers, that is, Gu Jin Mountain, "Gu Jin Mountain, there will be a very important task, which is related to whether our army can survive this battle. ”
Gu Jinshan's eyes lit up slightly, originally he was a little disappointed that General Gu left his team alone and didn't let them participate in the battle, but he didn't expect that General Gu valued them more and assigned them more important tasks.
"General, the humble position will definitely live up to the trust. Gu Jinshan didn't even know what the task was, so he made a promise.
Gu Yanqi nodded with satisfaction, what she wanted was the fearless spirit of Gu Jinshan.
"The general has already negotiated with the Lord of the Mansion......," Gu Yanqi instructed Gu Jinshan in a low voice.
"Ah, what kind of important task is this?" Gu Jinshan said disappointedly, General Gu didn't have fun with him!
"When you understand when you understand the importance of this task, you ...... You can be promoted to lieutenant. Gu Yanqi didn't explain, he just needed to know that Gu Jinshan would honestly follow her orders, so her expression was extremely serious, "The life of the general, the lives of the brothers, and the lives of the people of Qilin Town are all in your hands, do you have the confidence to complete the task?"
When Gu Jinshan heard this, he hurriedly said, "I will definitely complete the task!"
Although he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, General Gu was too serious, so serious that he felt that his task was very important.
Looking back on this journey, General Gu not only gave him small shoes because of his provocation at that time, but also reminded him from time to time...... So, how could General Gu not pay attention to him?
"Go ahead and hope for a miracle. Gu Yanqi's last sentence was very quiet, as if he had no confidence.
Gu Jinshan didn't hear General Gu's words, but looking at General Gu's serious face, he didn't have the courage to ask the end at all, and he had more important things to do!
Gu Jinshan left the city wall with his 1,000 soldiers and rushed towards the town.
I thought I had made a good errand, but as Deputy Captain Miao of logistics and transportation, his eyes narrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He thought for a while, came to the city wall, and said to Gu Yanqi, "General Gu, you better go down, it's too dangerous on the city wall." ”
"Good. "As the general of the vanguard battalion, she actually needs to charge, but this time is different, there is no commander behind them, she can only stand under the dangerous wall.
Gu Yanqi took a deep look at Deputy Lieutenant Miao, and left the city wall without looking back.
The sounds of fighting, roars, screams, and so on.
Gu Yanqi stood at the commanding heights in Qilin Town, watching the battle situation open little by little, as if she had returned to the time when she was by the side of the second prince in her previous life, the battle situation at that time was also so tragic, the difference was that in her previous life, she could only watch from the side, and secretly gave advice to the second prince in private, in this life...... This is her battleground.
……
"General, are we too aggressive?" A trace of worry flashed in the eyes of the adjutant general, who does not know the name of the Marquis of Zhennan? However, the general is so aggressive, because the nest of bandits that he exterminated on the road is so inflated, and no one will listen to persuasion.
"You must take Qilin Town tonight, Adjutant General, your guts are too small. ”
Lin Yinghui, the general of the vanguard army of the Marquis of Dingyuan, is the nephew of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and the lone seedling of the old lady's favorite son, so he is naturally particularly favored, the Marquis of Dingyuan is a filial piety, seeing that his old mother likes Lin Yinghui, he is also very fond of Lin Yinghui.
This also caused Lin Yinghui's arrogant temperament, compared with the prudence of Dingyuan Hou, the biggest characteristic of this nephew is that he is bold and aggressive, so Dingyuan Hou gave Lin Yinghui a cautious deputy general, hoping to complement each other and not let the vanguard army cause irreparable losses because of Lin Yinghui's arrogance.
But what Dingyuan Hou didn't expect was that Lin Yinghui had grown up in all kinds of favors since he was a child, how could he listen to the words of a little lieutenant general?
Fortunately, because he loved this nephew, Dingyuanhou allocated 50,000 horses to Lin Yinghui, so although he was a little worried about Lin Yinghui as the general of the vanguard army, relatively speaking, with these two arrangements, Dingyuanhou was still relatively relieved about this nephew.
"From the mouths of those spies we captured alive, we can know that Qilin Town is seriously understaffed now, so General Gu's vanguard army is only 10,000 people, and our 50,000 army can definitely crush the past, as long as we capture Qilin Town, we will no longer be a problem when we go south in the future. Lin Yinghui saw the disapproval on the adjutant general's face, and explained it rarely.
"But ......" Adjutant General felt that Lin Yinghui was too taken for granted, what if these spies were deliberately released by the rebels to confuse them? What if this was a trap?
But before he could say this, he was interrupted by Lin Yinghui, "No, the general's words are military orders." ”
As a gentleman, the rare explanation was also contradicted, and the arrogance and disdain in Lin Yinghui's bones were directly revealed, and there was contempt for the deputy general in his eyes.
Seeing this, the deputy general was angry, and he still couldn't look down on this always self-righteous Lin Dashao!
Isn't it just relying on the relationship with the emperor? Phew! The responsibility for the defeat of the left and right was Lin Dashao's, and he just watched coldly, looking at how the invincible Lin Dashao was destroyed by the rebels little by little, and that senseless pride!
