Chapter 312 Reinforcements
"Fan Yuan, Dong Kangmai, see General Luo!" Looking at Cao Zhan's bloody head in Luo Yi's hand, the two hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted.
"Hmm!" Luo Yi nodded proudly, and then threw the head to the guard.
"The two are exempt from courtesy, and the two abandon the darkness and turn to the light, Your Majesty will definitely reward the two again." Seeing that the two of them were respectful and did not have a trace of dissatisfaction, Luo Yi looked relieved and continued.
"Thank you, generals, the two of us, willing to serve the dogs and horses!" Fan Yuan hurriedly said.
"How much did Dou Jiande send troops this time? What's the plan? Luo Yi nodded slightly and asked.
"This time, 150,000 troops were dispatched, and the troops were divided into two routes, one of which was 70,000 of us, but the most elite was the one that attacked Pingzhou! Because Dou Jiande wants the mineral deposits of Pingzhou! Fan Yuan replied truthfully.
"The last general heard that Dou Jiande asked Gao Shixing to organize people, see that side is broken first, and then use this as a breakthrough." Dong Kangmai added.
"Who is Gao Shixing? What about the capabilities? Luo Yi asked.
"Gao Shixing is the third commander under Dou Jiande! However, it is said that it is the third, and the ability should be the first! This person's force and commander are not under Liu Heimin and Wang Fubao, but they are not trusted by the other two, so they are ranked third! Dong Kangmai replied.
"In this way, Dou Jiande's people are the most powerful." Luo Yi touched his beard and said.
"The force is the first with Wang Xiaohu! Gao Shixing is the first to lead the soldiers, which is recognized by everyone! Dong Kangmai said.
After Luo Yi asked, he asked the two of them to help restrain the prisoners and clean up the battlefield, and two hours later, Qin Qiong led the cavalry and took the prisoners all the way back.
"Uncle Qin, see the governor!" Qin Qiong got off the horse and said.
"Uncle Bao is exempt!" Luo Yi looked at his nephew with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Hey, hey!" Seeing her relatives, she naturally felt warm, and Qin Qiong grinned.
was originally a very warm scene, but his bloody appearance ruined the image.
The difference between generals and soldiers is that they don't like to put down their masks, because the masks affect their activities and sight somewhat, on this battlefield, the killing is rising, and under the crazy killing, they will always feel panicked if they don't shout two voices, but when they shout, they will inevitably be splashed with blood from the enemy's body, and they will be splashed with blood from time to time in their mouths, so it is not strange to have a mouthful of blood-red teeth.
Qin Qiong is usually a very stable person, and only when he is around his relatives will he show this innocent side, Luo Yi smiled understandingly, patted him on the shoulder again and said: "Well done, just this battle, it is enough for Dou Jiande's heartache." ”
"It's all up to my uncle to attract their main force, and Uncle Bao can make a contribution in one fell swoop!" Qin Qiong smiled modestly.
"Haha! Then uncle, just think what you say is true! Luo Yi laughed.
"With so many captives, how does my uncle plan to place them?" As soon as the topic changed, Qin Qiong asked.
With the surrendered personnel, there were more than 30,000 prisoners at this time, which was more than their troops, which was undoubtedly a huge problem. Because they want to defend the border, they can't leave too many people to guard them, and Fan Yuan, who has just surrendered, can't guarantee that they will not turn back.
"Dou Jiande is still organizing people in the rear, and it is very likely that he will come at us, and in my opinion, retreat to Youzhou City! Focusing on defense, Shubao led the cavalry outside, so Dou Jiande must have some scruples. Luo Yi frowned slightly.
"That's all it takes." Qin Qiong looked around and said with the same embarrassment.
Although the cavalry has a huge advantage over the foot soldiers, but that is more reflected in the case of a surprise attack, if you have prepared in advance, this matter is not easy to say, after all, there are too many ways to limit the impact of the cavalry, a large number of crossbowmen, is also a big threat to the cavalry.
Qin Qiong's cavalry has been discovered, if Dou Jiande's men and horses come again, they will definitely be on guard, and it is simply impossible to achieve this effect again, so it will become more than enough defense and insufficient attack.
Not to mention that Luo Yi also had to watch out for more than 10,000 captives and nearly 20,000 soldiers, which was even more stressful.
Luo Yi led his troops back to Youzhou City, and at the same time passed the battle report to Liaodong, Pingzhou and Jinyang.
After more than ten days of vigilance, Dou Jiande did set up a group of men and horses again, totaling 60,000 people, among which his ace cavalry was also sent out and handed over to Liu Heimin, so that he could stare the soldiers and horses of Youzhou to death, and Gao Shixing led 55,000 soldiers to support Pingzhou Wang Fubao.
Liu Heimin brought 70,000 people out, lost more than 50,000 in the first battle, and almost vomited blood in anger, but fortunately, Dou Jiande did not blame him, but supported 5,000 cavalry.
After a failure, Liu Heimin also learned a lesson and knew that his cavalry was not the opponent of Youzhou, so he assigned the cavalry to Wang Xiaohu, who escaped, and then honestly guarded the border.
Because Dou Jiande's latest instruction is to take the Pingzhou mining area, he is definitely unwilling to face the Jiancheng of Youzhou.
Wang Fubao and Gao Shixing integrated 100,000 soldiers and made a comeback; Zhang Zhongjian was not afraid and still chose to fight in the field.
The 25,000 intact beggars, plus the 20,000 miners who had been dispatched, rose up again.
"Why is Brother Wang embarrassed? It's just that I don't like to come. Gao Shixing chuckled.
"What did Brother Gao say, it's too late for me to be happy when you come, how can I be embarrassed." Wang Fubao smiled bitterly. The two have a good personal relationship, so the conversation is much more casual.
"Then Brother Wang, why are you doing this?" Gao Shixing asked.
"Zhang Zhongjian, the governor of Pingzhou, is not an opponent, but this is not the key, the key is that the Pingzhou guards, which are very well-equipped, although we have 100,000 horses, but if we really take it down, I don't know how much to fill in. I'm worried that the loss will be too great, and Your Majesty won't be able to account for it. Wang Fubao explained.
"As long as there is really a big mine in Pingzhou, no matter how big the loss is, Your Majesty should be able to accept it, after all, this is also something that the imperial court lacks, with coal and iron mines, it is enough to recruit manpower." Gao Shixing said with a faint sneer.
"Senior brother is cautious." Wang Fubao frowned and persuaded softly.
Nepotism, this is the habit of many people, because only relatives make people more at ease, so Gao Shixing is not valued by others, which Wang Fubao deeply agrees with, because in fact, the treatment is similar, only slightly better, compared to Dou Jiande's fellow townsman Liu Heimin, Dou Jiande's wife Cao family, that is far worse.
"Huh! Don't worry, Brother Wang, as long as you take Pingzhou, it's okay if you run out of people in your hands! Gao Shixing waved his hand disapprovingly and said with a smile.
He knows Dou Jiande very well, he seems to be approachable, but he is actually suspicious of everyone; The outside is wide and the inside is taboo, and there is not much room for people, so it can be said that he is a very mediocre person.
Of course, after a long period of contact, you can find that it is still good to have a short period of contact, because his biggest point is that he is better at strangers, and he pretends to be a corporal of Lixian, which is more like Wang Shichong.
Wang Fubao knew this, so he understood that Gao Shixing was right, but many of these soldiers were personally recruited and trained by him, some time ago, he died so much, and he felt extremely uncomfortable, and now he has to take so many people to fill it, he still doesn't think it is very much.
Fortunately, he only had that moment in his heart and couldn't bear it, after all, Ci was not in charge of the army, he was a person who was used to life and death on the battlefield, and he was not so indecisive, so he nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
