Chapter 276: Arrogant Qi Bingwen

Qi Bingwen became a generalissimo, this is the first time he has been a generalissimo in his life, and he has an army of 300,000 in his hands, not to mention how beautiful it is. In his opinion, how capable Ming Tao can be as a young man, he is just a vassal king, how many soldiers and horses can he have, even if he gets some troops later, it is only a small part.

Now he has led an army of 300,000 to exterminate Ming Tao. Isn't it easy to deal with those rangers?

Since leaving the capital, Qi Bingwen's whole person has been in excitement, although he has not lost his mind and made any inappropriate moves, but he has lost all vigilance because of this excitement. That's it, the vanguard officer he brought was just as arrogant as he was. didn't take Ming Tao's army in his eyes at all.

The consequence of being arrogant and underestimating the enemy was that the vanguard officer and his 9,000 soldiers and horses were all exterminated by Ming Tao. When Qi Bingwen knew about this, it was already three days after the vanguard army was wiped out.

Hear the report from your men! Qi Bingwen was dumbfounded, he never thought that he would lose so many soldiers and horses before he even fought against Ming Tao. However, he didn't believe how powerful Ming Tao's subordinates were, especially in his opinion, Ming Tao could kill so many vanguard generals and definitely lose his troops. Therefore, instead of being vigilant about the total annihilation of the vanguard army, he became even more arrogant.

"Order the army to move forward at full speed, we must take down the Yan King's troops. When he returns to the capital, the emperor will definitely reward everyone for their merits. Sitting in the main camp, Qi Bingwen said loudly to all the soldiers around him......

"Marshal, the last thought is that we can't advance by leaps and bounds like this, we should be careful to find out the cause of the death of the vanguard army, and then it's not too late to advance." The general stood up, bowed to Qi Bingwen and said.

Looking around at all the generals on both sides, Qi Bingwen said confidently: "Since ancient times, it has been said that if you can kill nine thousand vanguard troops, the loss must be just as severe. Let's think about it, King Yan is just a vassal king, how many subordinates can he have, and the losses in this battle are at least as many as seven or eight thousand, and now is the best time for us to pursue. ”

After listening to Qi Bingwen's analysis, Yu Liang not only did not feel at ease, but became more worried. He saluted Qi Bingwen again and said: "Marshal, these are just speculations, in case the losses of King Yan's army are not as severe as the marshal imagined, we will drive straight into this way, I am afraid that all the soldiers will be in danger."

"If you are afraid of danger, you will go home and take your children, what general will bring what soldiers? When a soldier fights, there is no immortal. Deputy Marshal Ma Ying looked at Yu Liang and said disdainfully.

He is not from a military background, but because Ma Yujing is his cousin, he specially asked the emperor for this position. For him, war is just a toy, and he doesn't care who wins or loses in the end, anyway, the emperor's cousin-in-law told him that it doesn't matter if things don't work well to save his life, and he doesn't care about anything else. Since even the emperor's cousin-in-law is not optimistic about this war, naturally because these generals in front of him are incompetent, then he naturally doesn't have to give face to these people, he can say whatever he wants, anyway, even if they are angry, they don't dare to do anything to him.

"The deputy marshal's words are wrong, protecting the family and defending the country is the duty of the last general, but it is worth sacrificing to defend the family and the country. You can't blindly give away a soldier's life. Listening to Ma Ying's words, Yu Liang was very angry, but thinking of the other party's identity, he could only grit his teeth and hold back his anger to explain to Ma Ying.

"Humph! As long as you cherish the lives of your soldiers, the generalissimo doesn't know how to cherish your own soldiers? I think the reason why the generalissimo insisted on sending troops was also to avenge the 9,000 vanguard army. Right! Generalissimo? Ma Ying glanced at Qi Bingwen and said proudly.

"That's right, this commander is to avenge the vanguard army, so he will send troops immediately." Listening to Ma Ying's words, Qi Bingwen nodded and said.

Now he is also fifty or sixty people, and it is his blessing to be a generalissimo this time. The most important thing is that he can have a good relationship with Ma Ying, and he will have a backer when he returns to Beijing in the future. Therefore, don't say that Ma Ying was saying good things about him just now, even if Ma Ying secretly scolded him, he would pretend not to know and nod in agreement.

"Marshal, King Yan has been able to hold Yanjing for more than ten years, so that Dayuan Kingdom has never crossed the Juyong Pass by half a step, and the last general thinks that King Yan is not easy to deal with, so we should be careful. I believe that those vanguard troops will not resent the marshal. Seeing the two marshals singing and harmonizing, Yu Liang was very disappointed, but thinking of his 300,000 army, Yu Liang persuaded again.

"Juyong Pass is a natural danger, even if there are ordinary people guarding there, I believe that the soldiers and horses of the Great Plains Country will not be able to enter Juyong Pass for half a step." Glancing at Yu Liang, Qi Bingwen said with a sneer. In his opinion, what real skills Ming Tao can have as a pampered prince, his previous achievements are just the credit of his subordinates being taken by Ming Tao. If Ming Tao is really so powerful, how could the emperor let such a gentle and martial son not let him be the emperor, but insisted on letting a milk doll be the emperor?

"Marshal ......"

"Okay, here I'm the marshal, and I've got the final say. We will set out early tomorrow morning to try to catch King Yan by surprise. Glaring at Yu Liang, Qi Bingwen said strongly.

"The Last General's Order!" As soon as Qi Bingwen finished speaking, all the soldiers stood up and saluted him.

"Alright, adjourn." Qi Bingwen waved his hand and said to everyone. It felt good to be a marshal, and now he felt more and more like a marshal.

Ming Tao, Shu Li, and Mu Yunfeng gathered in front of a big sand table, studying future military operations. Although this time they were victorious and wiped out all of Qi Bingwen's vanguard army. But those vanguard troops were only a small group of soldiers after all. The real big force is yet to come. And they still have an uphill battle to fight.

"I think we should be able to ambush Qi Bingwen's soldiers and horses here in Zhending, although we can't wipe them all out, but we can still do it if they have no strength to fight back." Looking at the entire sand table, Shu Li pointed to a majestic town and said.

"That's right, although our soldiers and horses are not as good as Qi Bingwen, but with the city wall, we can wait for work and reduce the loss of soldiers. But how are we going to get Qi Bingwen to fight against us here? Looking at where Shu Li was pointing, Ming Tao and Mu Yunfeng had no opinion, but Qi Bingwen was not a fool, how could he obediently fight with them there?

"Don't worry about this, this Qi Bingwen I came into contact with when I was in the capital, I was completely a proud and arrogant person, I followed my father because of his good kung fu and many meritorious contributions, and was given the position of a marquis by the emperor. This time, the emperor asked him to lead the troops, probably because he asked for it himself. Speaking of Qi Bingwen, Mu Yunfeng said with a smile directly. The emperor sent such a person to confront him, and probably guessed the content of the letter that the emperor gave him at the beginning, even if the emperor was stupid, he would not let such a person lead the army.

"That's good, but in order to let this person go to us, we can't wait for him directly in Zhending, but set up a trap in front of us to wait for him in a suitable ambush, we don't ask how many people we can kill, we just want to make him think that there are not many of us, even if there is a city to help, we will definitely be able to let him be captured." Ming Tao listened to Mu Yunfeng's words, thought about it for a while and said. It's not that he doesn't believe Mu Yunfeng, but by doing so, he can convince Qi Bingwen's other soldiers even more. Although the marshal of the war is important, the generals in his hands are even more important.

"Then we're going to ambush the enemy here." Shu Li listened to Ming Tao's words, thought about it for a while, and stretched out his hand to a forest that was more than a mile long and a hundred meters wide.

Ming Tao and Mu Yunfeng looked at the woods and found that there were endless cornfields on the opposite side of the woods, because all the crops there had been harvested, and the fields were very empty, even if there were trees next to them, they believed that with Qi Bingwen's arrogance, they would definitely not care. Moreover, it is also the only way for Qi Bingwen's army. Such an excellent ambush location, of course Ming Tao and Mu Yunfeng would not object. The two looked at Shu Li attentively at the same time.

After Qi Bingwen's original vanguard was wiped out by Ming Tao and a few people, he found another pioneer officer and gave the vanguard officer 10,000 soldiers and horses. In his opinion, these 10,000 people can already deal with Ming Tao's army. Therefore, he and the team behind him did not travel very quickly.

This newly appointed pioneer officer Lin Tong is also a proud and arrogant lord, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to be a pioneer after the previous pioneer officer was just exterminated by Ming Tao and others.

What can you really say about the marshal and what the soldiers! Marshal Qi Bingwen is arrogant, and the pioneer officer is also a proud and arrogant person. Therefore, when he passed by the ambush site arranged by Ming Tao and the others, he didn't let anyone check whether the woods were safe at all. Just walked forward with the army.

Ming Tao, Mu Yunfeng, and Shu Li looked at the Lin Tong team who walked into the woods without any scruples, and began to discuss strategies.

Originally, they just wanted to ambush here and then go back to Zhending City to prepare for battle. But now the vanguard army is only 9,000 in number, and there is no defense, which can really be said to be the best moment for their sneak attack. Especially now that Qi Bingwen's army is still at least twenty miles away from here. Even if they were to be notified, it would take more than half a hour for them to come quickly. By that time they had long since ended the fighting. Therefore, the three of them were very excited about this battle.

"I don't think we can let these people go. After all, Qi Bingwen has another 300,000 troops, and even if we wiped out 9,000 men and horses a few days ago, he still has 290,000 soldiers and horses. And we are only 200,000 people. We are too different from each other in terms of numbers. Even if we have a city wall as a defense, we may not be able to successfully repel Qi Bingwen. If we wipe out this vanguard, we will have a lot less opponents. Looking at the army in the distance, Shu Li said.

"I also know that I can't let go of these vanguards, but I'm afraid that if we make a move, what if Qi Bingwen is on guard? The latter ones are the real opponents! Ming Tao turned his head and said to Shu Li. Of course, he also wanted to destroy this vanguard army, but in case he startled the snake, Qi Bingwen was on guard. It's difficult to deal with Qi Bingwen lightly. After all, the war had just begun, and his soldiers and horses were already here, except for some of those who stayed at home. The other party has the backing of the whole country, and they are just a small Yanjing City. There is simply no comparison in terms of troops. Naturally, they can save money.
