Chapter 107: The Northern Qin Soldiers Are Blocked in Fangyang Dingnan Hou marched into Guyang
Let's say that at this time, the Northern Qin Emperor Fu Yi, after hearing that he had landed on the shore, was attacked by the defenders in Fangyang County, and lost more than 100,000 people. He was furious and personally ordered his soldiers to kill a Northern Qin general who was the first to retreat.
Now, for Fu Yi, he is now furious, and he said to all the generals: "Generals, you must capture Fangyang County, turn Fangyang County into ruins, and avenge the dead soldiers." ”
However, the generals of Northern Qin who heard His Majesty's words were silent one by one. Fangyang County is now a city with high and deep ditches, and I don't know how many defenders there are in the county? Now that the morale of the army is low, it is really not a blessing for the army to attack such a fortified city! It is a pity that no general dares to say a word.
Even, even Song Qi, the generalissimo of the Dragon Owl Army, has been silent. In fact, the Dragon Owl Army under his command has been dismantled by His Majesty himself! In particular, although his family has nominally promoted him to the title of Dingguo, in fact, they have imprisoned his entire clan in disguise.
In addition, as for the outcome of this battle, Song Qi already knew that the Northern Qin army was bound to be defeated! Moreover, this fiasco would lead to the loss of the main force of the Northern Qin State. Naturally, this defeat will also bury him, the famous general Song Qi, in this defeat.
Seeing that the main general was silent, Fu Yi ordered loudly: "Since the generals have no objections, then immediately capture the county seat of Fangyang County for me, and all the men, women, and children in the city will be slaughtered, and no one will be left." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. All the generals said loudly.
At this time, standing on the city wall, watching the dense crowd of Northern Qin people attacking the county seat, Fangyang County Shouzhong, and the generals all looked at the enemy coldly. They had long been determined to live and die with the city, so they didn't have the slightest fear in their hearts. At the same time, reinforcements and grain and grass were continuously transported to Fangyang County.
At this moment, many of the people of Northern Qin, who were like a tide, accidentally fell into the trap. However, there are too many of them! Even if the Bright Army dug so many traps outside the city, they would fill them with human lives. However, when the Northern Qin people paid enough price, they passed through the trap area. Faced with the wideness of the moat, they were completely shocked again.
Many of them retreated, but with the supervision of the law enforcement team, they were able to cross the moat with their heads in mind.
However, how could the defenders of Fangyang County at the head of the city be able to let them get their wish? The Northern Qin army, which was about to cross the moat, was horrified to find that there were suddenly countless strange-shaped, crossbow-like things on the head of the city, as well as crossbow arrows smaller than siege crossbows, aimed at them.
When the new forward general Wu Qibo suddenly had a trace of fear in his heart, a dense rain of arrows shot from those strange bows and crossbows at the head of the city, and in an instant, those Northern Qin soldiers who were preparing to cross the moat quickly became a sieve.
However, Wu Qibo could not order the retreat of the army, so he could only order the soldiers to cross the moat with their shields on their backs. However, the rain of arrows from the city was so dense that they couldn't even lift their heads. Countless Northern Qin soldiers fell into the moat, dyeing the originally clear moat water into blood red.
The offensive and defensive sides held each other like this, even if the Northern Qin people were outnumbered, but in the face of the wide moat and the dense rain of arrows from the defenders in the city, they could not advance half a step.
At this time, Zhou Shuyu, the generalissimo of the Guangming Army, was in Guyang County, Yingzhou, fighting against the North Road Army of the Northern Qin people, and the 5.4 million soldiers and horses led by the Northern Qin Dingnanhou and Dingnan General Yan Shen and more than 3 million Northern Yan and Yan Song troops went south to attack Yingzhou, a place where soldiers must fight.
However, Yan Shen didn't know that he had now stepped into the trap that Zhou Shuyu had designed for them.
If you want to attack Yingzhou, you must conquer Guyang County, an important place in the north of Yingzhou, and the county guard of Guyang County is named Lu Shikun, who is now with Zhou Shuyu on the Beauty Ridge of East Guyang Mountain, observing the movements of the enemy army.
Guyang County, bounded by Guyang Mountain in the east and Guyang Mountain in the west and neighboring counties. Guyang County and Hao River are the boundaries, and there are two ferries: Guyang Old Ferry and Guyang New Ferry. To the south of the two ferries is a long and narrow canyon between the east and west Guyang Mountains, called Shuanglong Valley. Originally, there was a pass city with a Shuanglong Pass in this Shuanglong Valley, but the last time when the Northern Qin people retreated, in order to invade again in the future, they actually demolished Shuanglong Pass. However, even so, Ssangyong Valley is still an excellent location for ambushes. To the south of Shuanglong Valley, there is a town called Shuanglong Town, which was originally densely populated and economically rich, but because of the arrival of the Northern Qin people, this town has become a dead town. To the south of Shuanglong Town is the county seat of Guyang County!
If the Northern Qin people captured Guyang County again this time, then Yingzhou would fall immediately, and the Northern Qin army would inevitably completely capture the seven or eight state capitals south of Yingzhou, until their iron cavalry was blocked in the second line of defense.
Therefore, sticking to Guyang County is the top priority of whether the Guangming Army can defeat the Northern Qin Army and achieve victory this time.
And for Zhou Shuyu, this Guyang County is really a good place. Standing on the Meiren Ridge, he discussed with the generals how to defeat the Northern Qin people? Lu Shikun, who was the county guard, Kui Gang, the commander of the Kuizi Battalion, who had 180,000 soldiers and horses, Gu Qicheng, Gu Qide, and Gu Qiming, the three brothers Gu Qicheng, Gu Qide, and Gu Qiming, who each had 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Chu Zheng, the general of the Weibei Army, who had a million-strong army under the command of the Guangming Army, and Peng Tingzhong, the general of the Zhen'an Army, who also had a million-strong army. Now, the armies under their respective commands have all gathered near this Guyang County.
I only heard it, and Chu Zheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion at this time: "Sir, this is really a good place for ambushes!"
"Yes, Brother Chu is right, this is really a good place. Peng Tingzhong agreed.
"Yes, the Northern Qin people are arrogant and lazy, they think they are invincible in the world, and they regard our Yan and Song people as fish and meat for them to slaughter. It's just that they don't know, it was because Mr. wasn't there before, but now Mr. is in command of the overall situation!" Gu Qicheng on the side said respectfully to Zhou Shuyu.
"Okay, don't talk about me! The most important thing now is to completely wipe out their group of Northern Qin invading troops in this Shuanglong Valley. Zhou Shuyu said coldly.
However, at this time, Kui Gang asked an unbounded question, and only heard him ask: "Sir, did Mrs. give birth to a son or a daughter?"
"This is a battlefield, why did you suddenly mention my family affairs?" Zhou Shuyu asked suspiciously.
"Sir, those of us who are uncles also want to give a gift to our little nephew or little niece after the war!" Gu Qiming interjected.
"Alas, it's okay to tell you, my family Meng Yao gave birth to a son, and I named him Zhou Yuxuan, which means Qi Yuxuan. As for the gifts you want to give him, it is better to give him a great victory! In this way, the people of the 12 prefectures and 42 prefectures of the province are also happy. Zhou Shuyu said.
"It's just that, according to intelligence, this Yan Shen, the marquis of Dingnan and the general of Dingnan in Northern Qin, is still a battle-hardened general. It's a blessing to be able to play against such an opponent. Chu Zheng on the side said excitedly.
At this time, Yan Shen, the Marquis of Northern Qin and Dingnan and the general of Dingnan, who was Zhou Shuyu's opponent, was on the boat at the moment, looking at the situation of the enemy and me on the sand table with a heavy face. The terrain of Guyang County is also in his mind. Even, the one who demolished the Shuanglong Pass before was ordered by himself. However, even so, there was a faint worry in his heart. After all, today's Haotian Middle Dao has undergone drastic changes, and Zhou Heng, who was named the King of Xiping, Haotian Middle Dao Yin, and Haotian Middle Dao Metropolitan Governor by the Yan Song Dynasty Imperial Court, is a person who has made him unpredictable so far.
And this time, even the Guyang County he was familiar with still made him a little uneasy. After all, the terrain of this Shuanglong Valley in Guyang County could not be changed, and if Zhou Heng set up an ambush in Shuanglong Valley, then the army under his command would definitely suffer heavy casualties. However, the army he led had to pass through Shuanglong Valley, so it seemed that he needed to be cautious! However, Yan Shen could think like this, but the generals under his command would not think so, in their hearts, the Yan Song people were the cattle and sheep under their swords.
Now it is the 18th day of March in the fifth year of the Yan Song Dynasty, and the vanguard of the army under the command of Yan Shen, the general of Dingnan and Dingnan in Northern Qin, has arrived at the new and old ferries in Guyang. When the vanguard army of the Northern Qin people arrived at the ferry port on the shore, they only encountered slight resistance and captured the old and new ferry ports of Guyang. This made Yan Shen a little surprised, originally he thought that if he wanted to capture the new and old Guyang ferries, he would have to go through a bloody battle. However, the generals under his command did not care at all, and they even thought that the Yan and Song soldiers in Guyang County had already fled.
On March 22, Yan Shen led a large army through the Shuanglong Valley. In the process of passing through Shuanglong Valley a few days ago, Yan Shen had been hanging his heart, but he did not encounter an ambush at all. When his tent was enshrined in the ruined town of Ssangyong, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, after all, he was the one who ordered the destruction of this town. However, for the sake of the great cause of Northern Qin, he was willing to be this sinner. Now, Yan Shen, who arrived in Shuanglong Town, suddenly lowered most of the vigilance in his heart, and he even had an illusion in his heart, that is, this Zhou Heng did not seem to be a person familiar with military affairs.
However, Yan Shen was very wrong. In fact, their daily actions are under Zhou Shuyu's surveillance. And Zhou Shuyu's goal was to annihilate all the more than 8 million Northern Qin soldiers led by Yan Shen.
On this night, Yan Shen, who had set up a big tent in Shuanglong Town, and the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers who guarded him, were basically asleep! However, Yan Shen never thought that the entire underground of Shuanglong Town was all tunnels where countless soldiers were stationed.
Just as Yan Shen was still in his dream, all of a sudden, countless shouts of killing came from outside his tent.
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
