Chapter 220: The hole cards are not played
In Zhang Tai's rear, the two armies were fighting, but Mubai was not in a hurry to start a war with him, but was ready to catch up with him.
Mu Bai rode forward and shouted loudly: "General Zhang, I haven't seen you for fifteen years, and the general's demeanor seems to be the same as it was back then!" Mu Bai's tone was indifferent, as if there was a kind of mockery,
Zhang Tai looked at his figure and was a little vaguely familiar, but when he said that fifteen years had made Zhang Tai jerk, he didn't remember who he had seen fifteen years ago.
"General Ben is clumsy, I don't know where Your Excellency is sacred? General Ben doesn't remember what Huan army generals I know? Zhang Tai also looked back proudly.
Mu Bai didn't laugh angrily, "Haha! I think General Zhang is really a forgetful person, fifteen years ago, Beihe killed General Yun Lingbo with a discordant strategy and captured Xiangyang, the general was also a meritorious person at that time, why don't you remember? β
Zhang Tai was horrified, could it be that he was Yun Lingbo, but the generals of the Yun family were all dead at that time, so who was this person in front of him?
Although Zhang Tai was nervous, his tone was still very calm, "There are countless feats made by this general, where do you remember them so clearly!" β
Mu Bai chuckled, pretending to admire: "That's what I said, the general has been fighting horses for half his life, unlike when he didn't go to the battlefield in the next fifteen years, and his hands were born!" β
Zhang Tai laughed when he heard this, "Haha! But suddenly, he reacted again, and said with a suspicious expression: "Who are you?" β
"Haha! Ha ha! Mu Bai couldn't stop laughing, "General Zhang, we fought fifteen years ago, and at that time, we were slightly better, can't the general remember it at all?" Mu Bai stared at him closely. I saw Zhang Tai thinking about it, probably recalling the situation back then, and Zhang Tai was a forgetful person, so he had to think hard about things so far ago. It's just that the fighters on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and his hesitation is in Mu Bai's arms.
Mu Bai's eyes widened, and he immediately shouted: "Soldiers, rush, behead Zhang Tai, reward a thousand gold!" β
He will order. The Huan army quickly slaughtered towards the Yan army. "Kill ......"
This made Zhang Tai, who was still searching for his memory, shocked, and Yan Jun panicked for a while.
Seeing this, Mu Bai continued to shout loudly: "Behead the enemy's army, and reward the silver according to a few seals!" When the officers and men of the Huan army heard this, their morale was greatly boosted. Then the more he fought, the more courageous he became. The more you kill, the more fierce you get.
Compared with. The Yan army was in chaos, Zhang Tai couldn't command it, and at the same time he had to deal with those Huan army soldiers who wanted to get a thousand dollars.
Mu Bai knew that the Yan army was in turmoil. Then he shouted a third time, "If the soldiers of the Yan army surrender, they will be given preferential treatment to avoid death!" Whoever dies in battle, there is no forgiveness! With that, he also picked up his spear and ran towards Zhang Tai.
When Mu Bai approached and didn't give Zhang Tai any reaction, the spear stabbed at him. It wasn't until Zhang Tai saw his face clearly that he finally remembered who he was, "Mu Bai! You are Mu Bai! Zhang Tai exclaimed as he faced the battle.
But because he was restless, the courage he should have had faded a lot, and he couldn't withstand Mu Bai's repeated attacks for a while.
However, Zhang Tai still tried to escape back to Chencang, but waves of Huan troops attacked him from all sides, and he had nowhere to escape, so he had to fight hard.
I don't know that Mu Bai has only one purpose for tonight's layout, and that is to capture and kill Zhang Tai, the main general of the Yan army. Of course, if Zhang Tai doesn't go out of the city, then it will be Li Qitian who will die tonight.
Mu Bai looked at Zhang Tai, who was besieged by our army, shouted, raised his spear and attacked him behind, Zhang Tai, who had been fighting for many years, naturally felt the coldness of the forest behind him, but if he went to block that shot, then his chest would be exposed to the enemy's sight, in the face of Mu Bai's death tonight, Zhang Tai was trapped by the enemy on his back and left, and he had no majesty in the past.
However, Zhang Tai was Zhang Tai, he was lying on his back on horseback, and as soon as the person in the chest pounced, he blocked Mu Bai's shot with a spear. Immediately, he swept again, forcing the Huan soldiers around him away, and pointed directly at Mu Baizhan. The two fought fiercely in the battle.
For the sake of the overall situation, Ran Mubai did not plan to fight with Zhang Tai alone, so he dragged Zhang Tai's spear with a spear, and the two stuck back and forth all the way, and at the same time, the soldiers of the Huan army on both sides stabbed Zhang Tai with their spears, and Zhang Tai received a few shots for a while, but he still ignored life and death, and continued to fight Mu Bai.
Mu Bai sneered, suddenly clamped the horse's belly, broke off, stabbed Zhang Tai with the spear with one hand, drew a long sword with the other, and ran towards Zhang Tai with all his might, when Zhang Tai blocked his spear at the same time, Mu Bai suddenly palmed, "Yanyun Biluo", with the sword in his hand, suddenly a dense wind blew towards everyone, and the soldiers around Zhang Tai couldn't stop retreating, and Zhang Tai was blocking the spear at the same time, he was pumped all over his body by the strong palm force, and he had to watch the sword shining with light sink into his chest.
Mu Bai showed no mercy, his cold eyes froze, and he slapped it again, piercing the long sword through Zhang Tai's chest.
Zhang Tai stared at Mu Bai, motionless, and suddenly, a mouthful of blood spurted out and fell off the horse.
Mu Bai looked at Zhang Tai coldly, and squeezed out a few words from his throat, "This sword is to avenge Big Brother Ma!" "Fifteen years ago, after the Xiangyang Rebellion, it was Zhang Tai who led people to besiege Ma Hongdu who was guarding Xinye, causing Ma Hongdu to be defeated and killed.
Mu Bai indifferently cut off Zhang Tai's head, ordered the Huan army to clean up the battlefield, after a while, he took a group of soldiers and troops to Chencang, at this time, the sky has been bright, and Lu Yang and Yi Qing are attacking the city, in the first half of the night, because of Lu Yang and Yi Qing's attack, and the Yan army guarding outside the city forced back into the city, in the second half of the night, the two learned that Mu Bai surrounded Zhang Tai, decided to take the opportunity to attack the city.
When Mu Bai led a large army to stand proudly outside the city of Chencang, he asked the soldiers to raise Zhang Tai's head high and forced the generals of Chencang to go out of the city and surrender. When Zhang Tai's two lieutenants saw Zhang Tai's head, they immediately mourned in their hearts, the East Road army had been defeated, Zhang Tai was dead, and the soldiers of the Yan army had no fighting spirit and only wanted to surrender to save their lives.
The two lieutenants wept bitterly and had no choice but to surrender to the city.
Mu Bai simply didn't do anything, let Yi Qing accept the surrender, and he and Lu Yang gathered under Yongxian with a large army to force Li Qitian to abandon the city.
Li Qitian saw that the general trend had gone, and he knew that staying in Yongxian County would only lose his troops, so it was better to preserve his strength and wait for Beihe to find an opportunity to make another move. After a day of stalemate, he withdrew to the west of Chang'an with his soldiers and horses overnight.
A day later, Fei Lian fought and captured Yixian. So. The western counties of Chang'an belonged to the Huan army.
When Xiao Moheng, who was in the main account of the army, received Mu Bai's good news, he suddenly felt very happy.
"General Mu is well versed in the art of war, luring the enemy, setting up ambushes, attacking the heart, and making three moves in a row to take the important town in the west! It's really better than Zhang Liang, brave and better than Han Xin! Xiao Moheng couldn't help but praise.
"Haha... In this way, the Yan army has retreated to Chang'an, and we are only waiting for a decisive battle with Beihe to break through Chang'an in one fell swoop! Gao Chi also laughed loudly.
"The Northern Crane is at the end of the crossbow, we can take advantage of the victory to pursue it!" Ling Heng said while sipping wine. The soldiers approached the city of Chang'an, which he had never had for many years. The heroism in his heart goes without saying, at this time he cast a grateful gaze to Gao Chi, that day under the city of Xunyang, it was Gao Chi Xiaozhi who took the country's righteousness. He had the opportunity to go north with His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. Build today's work.
"Yes. Yes, please give an order to Your Highness, and I am willing to capture Chang'an for Your Highness! Hao Zhanwei couldn't help but stand up and said.
Just when the generals were asking for war. Outside the tent, a guard shouted, "Report..."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Moheng swept his eyes lightly and said.
"Back to Your Highness, Beihe sent someone to send a battle watch!" The guard knelt down and offered a piece of paper in both hands.
Yan Sui, who was standing next to Xiao Moheng, immediately stepped forward to take it and handed it to Xiao Moheng.
Xiao Moheng untied the scroll cloth and unfolded it to take a look, only to see Beihe write: "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince of Dahuan is like meeting: Your Excellency has been driving the soldiers for a long time, wanton arrogance, causing the people to leave the chaos, and the people are not happy, please bathe your head and purify your head, and after half a month, you will hunt the suburbs with me!" Kitazuru! β
"The old man is arrogant!" Xiao Moheng swiped it, smashed the battle watch in front of the tent, and said angrily.
The generals were so frightened that they stood up one after another.
Xiao Moheng glared angrily, and said indignantly: "My army is pressing, this king has not given him a war letter, it doesn't matter if he doesn't surrender, he actually doesn't know what to do, and wants to fight with me!" It's overwhelming! β
Gao Chi hurriedly walked into the tent, picked up the battle watch and looked at it, and he was also very angry, "Beihe is arrogant and arrogant, arrogant and quibble, obviously he started the war first, and now it has been pushed on us, it is really too deceitful!" β
When the generals heard this, they all stepped forward to look at the war book, and saw that Beihe actually said wildly, wanting to kill the commander of the three armies of our army, all of them were blue and angry, Hao Zhanwei was the first to say indignantly: "Please give an order to Your Highness, I will wait for this to kill and take the head of the old thief!" β
"Your Highness, please!" Shang Zhi also followed the battle and was filled with righteous indignation.
The generals surrendered to the battle, gnashing their teeth with anger and fierce rhetoric.
But at this time, Xiao Moheng calmed down, he got up and stood up, with his back to everyone pondering, Beihe clearly wanted to delay the war, and he fought a decisive battle with him after half a month, he was really naΓ―ve, but Xiao Moheng thought about it carefully, if he attacked the city immediately, it may not be successful, after all, Chang'an is not as good as other small cities, there are millions of people in the city, and once the war starts, it will definitely be devastated. It's just that this gave Beihe the opportunity to prepare, how could Xiao Moheng endure this breath.
Seeing Xiao Moheng standing and pondering, the generals knew that he was hesitating, and then Chu Yutang persuaded loudly: "Your Highness, if you accept Beihe's battle table, you will fall for his tricks, so that he has time to prepare for the war!" However, our army of more than 100,000 troops is displayed in Chang'an, but the military salary equipment needs to be transported over long distances, delaying the war period, which is not good for our army! Chu Yutang is reasonable, earnestly convened, now the Huan army is attacking Chang'an from the east and west, taking Chang'an is like a bag and taking things, if he fights with him in half a month, it will really be cheap for him.
Ling Heng, a generation of famous generals, finally couldn't hold it back, and also came out and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness doesn't have to pay attention to the Northern Crane, one can be transmitted to the surrounding counties of Chang'an, isolate the Northern Crane, and the other will wait for the army to rest for a few days and take Chang'an directly!" β
"General Ling is right!"
"Exactly!"
"Your Highness, please!"
For a while, even Zhong Fuyun, Tao Yiran and Xin Zuo echoed. Only Gao Chi didn't say much because Jiang Mei had orders that night.
At this time, a dignified man in a white shirt strode in, pointed at the bamboo fan, and laughed loudly: "General Ling is a good plan, attack the city first, this plan should be of great use!" β
Everyone turned their heads and saw that the "traceless son" who had just started a serious illness stood with a smile, everyone knew that Jiang Mei was Xiao Moheng's military advisor, and she must have heard about it. Even Xiao Moheng immediately turned around and looked at him in a daze, so it seems that she should be fine, although she lives close to her, but for a few days, she avoided it, and he was helpless.
Yun Wuxian thought that she was here for the battle table, she had just listened to it outside the tent for a while, but the Chinese army naturally couldn't stop outside the tent, but Qin Xin knew his master's thoughts about Jiang Mei, as long as there was no big problem, he didn't say anything.
When Xiao Moheng saw her coming, he relaxed a lot, and said: "Yun Gongzi is finally willing to come out to meet someone, Beihe sent someone to send a battle table, please Gongzi fight for me!" Xiao Moheng's tone was leisurely, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Obviously, Jiang Mei heard the meaning of his words, didn't she blame herself for refusing to see him for a few days, so she bowed, "Please Your Highness accept the battle table, and win Chang'an in half a month!" Jiang Mei's tone was firm, and she seemed to be confident.
As soon as her words came out, the generals changed color, and they all looked at her, very puzzled. Xiao Moheng also looked at her quietly, obviously waiting for her explanation.
Jiang Mei looked around, took everyone's doubts in her eyes, and then gracefully saluted everyone, and said: "Your Highness, generals, Beihe will not descend, dare to ask if you are sure to capture Chang'an in a short time?" β
She glanced at the faces of the generals, and continued without waiting for everyone to reply: "Beihe still has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, his reputation in Chang'an City is no less than that of Murong Yue, and the people of Chang'an worship him as a god, if he mobilizes the people to defend Chang'an, it will be disadvantageous to our army." Everyone's faces looked a little better, and they all agreed with Jiang Mei's idea.
Immediately, Jiang Mei looked at Xiao Moheng steadily, and said loudly: "So... Please Your Highness accept the challenge of Beihe, and destroy the military god in the hearts of the people of Dayan, and destroy the confidence of the soldiers of Dayan to resist. Jiang Mei's voice was clear, like the sound of jade, and her clear eyes were like a pool of still water, calm and calm.
"Good! Just as Childe said! Battle Kitazuru! Xiao Moheng's face was impassioned, and his voice was high-pitched.
"Yes!" The generals saw the coach speak, and there was no hesitation.
It's just that Jiang Mei deliberately glanced at the generals again, smiled lightly, and said, "May I ask the generals, do you know why Beihe wants to issue a war letter?" Jiang Mei's eyes were gloomy.
At this time, all the generals glanced at each other, and they didn't seem to think about this issue carefully, only Hao Zhanwei answered: "Beihe naturally wants to stop our army's offensive and take the opportunity to prepare!" β
Jiang Mei shook her head and said with a smile: "No, no, our army has been crawling for a long time, doesn't it also need to rest for half a month?" The reason why Beihe wants to hunt His Royal Highness is because he still has a hole card that has not been played! (To be continued......)
