Chapter 142: Two Untrusted People

In fact, Wang Lin was also very helpless, when he heard that Chen Guobei had committed Huainan, he knew that the opportunity had come! He has waited for ten years, just waiting for an opportunity, a chance to make a comeback and fight back against Chen Guo! Now's finally here!

Wang Lin was full of anticipation and received Gao Wei's holy decree to appoint him to go south, but found that Gao Wei did not give him a single soldier at all, and only let him rush to Huainan alone, recruit the old Ding Yong, and organize an army to resist Chen's army.

Everyone is knocking on the door, and you are only now asking me to organize an army to resist? Why did you go earlier! You can recruit those soldiers when they are recruited, even if you can quickly organize an army of tens of thousands of Rao, it will take time to train them, is it just called in and asked them to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy, what is the difference between that and telling them to die!

So Wang Lin, who felt deeply distrusted, felt very helpless, but the holy decree had been issued, and he could only set off immediately, rushed to Xuzhou first, and visited Gao Changgong, who was sitting in Xuzhou, after all, he was still sitting in the position of the commander of the Huainan Qi army, although he had already taken away military power!

Both of them are frustrated people who have nowhere to complain, both because of the emperor's distrust, they have no skills but no way to serve the country, so as soon as they meet, they will vent their bitterness to each other and relieve the depression in their hearts.

"General Wang is a famous general in Jianghuai, who is familiar with the Jianghuai area and Wu Mingche, the commander of the Chen army who led the troops to the north this time, is a defeated general under General Wang, with the help of the general, why worry about the undefeated Chen army!" Gao Changgong said happily, he also received urgent reports from Qinjun and Xuyi, looking at the information of various defeats on it, it made him anxious, but he was helpless, after all, the military power had been seized, and he couldn't lead the troops to fight without authorization, so he could only sit here in Xuzhou and be anxious.

"Captain Gao is too elevated Wang, doesn't Captain Wang's situation now not understand, there is nothing to do with enthusiasm but power, the emperor sent me south to fight Chen, but he didn't give me a single soldier, what do I do to resist Chen's army? Do you want to go to General Wei to borrow troops? The power of the army is all in hand, who is willing to let go! Wang Lin smiled bitterly.

"Alas! Now that the traitorous ministers are in power, the emperor is blinded by a group of people, framing the loyal and good, and letting the incompetent take power, while those of us who are dedicated to serving the country cannot be trusted, and can only watch the great country of our great Qi being taken away little by little! Gao Changgong sighed.

"As a member of the imperial family, Gao Taiwei can't get the trust of the emperor, let alone me, the general of the Liang Kingdom, alas! Don't say these frustrating words! I just arrived, I don't know a lot of things here in Huainan, Taiwei has been in Huainan for almost a year, I hope Taiwei can tell Wang in detail about the situation here! Wang Lin asked.

"Of course! Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles! Since General Wang is here to assist us in defending against Chen's army, of course I have to tell you all the information in detail! Now the Chen army has surrounded Qin County for almost half a month, but it has not been captured, and General Wei stationed in Xuyi twice sent reinforcements but was ambushed by the Chen army and returned in a miserable defeat, even the 3,000 cavalry elite of the main cavalry battalion were wiped out by them, and now they can only retreat to Xuyi, and they can't rescue Qin County at all! "Gao Changgongdao.

"Their purpose is not Qin County, but the reinforcements we have sent! Otherwise, with Wu Mingche's ability, it is impossible to not be able to take a Qin County in half a month! Wang Lin hit the nail on the head.

"That's right, I think so too, but Qin County is besieged, we can't help it, after all, there are nearly 10,000 soldiers there, we can't watch them break the city and be captured!" Gao Changgong said helplessly.

"And who is responsible for holding back our reinforcements? Is it the main force of the Chen army led by Wu Mingche? Wang Lin asked.

"It's not! It was only the forward battalion of the Chen army that was responsible for blocking the Xuyi reinforcements, and they only had 5,000 men! Gao Changgong said calmly.

"Impossible! The cavalry of the Qi State is famous! Back then, Taiwei was able to break through the blockade of tens of thousands of troops of the Zhou State with only 500 heavy armored cavalry, and now they stopped 3,000 cavalry with only 5,000 men and horses, and half of them were severely damaged? Wang Lin was surprised.

"I didn't believe it at first! Our Qi cavalry, even those light cavalry, is absolutely strong in combat effectiveness, and there are three hundred heavy armored cavalry among these three thousand cavalry, even if it is the army of the Zhou State, it will take at least 10,000 troops to stop this cavalry! Not to mention the Chen army, which only has sailors and infantry! But the fact is that half of our 3,000 cavalry elites were wiped out, General Changsun only brought back 1,500 light cavalry, and the 300 heavy armored cavalry was completely wiped out, and only a dozen survivors escaped, but they were already frightened like wasters, and they didn't dare to ride into battle anymore! Gao Changgong said incredulously.

"Did Chen Jun use any conspiracy, or did he set up an ambush somewhere?" Wang Lin still didn't believe it.

"According to the people who escaped, Chen Jun used a magical weapon called musket artillery! This weapon is so powerful that one of them can instantly smash a heavily armored cavalry in thick armor to pieces, and kill several heavy armored cavalry at the same time! Therefore, the heavy cavalry that rushed to the front at that time was completely wiped out in a matter of moments! And the other is that it can kill people in the air, many light cavalry soldiers were shot down and dismounted, and finally Chen Jun rushed forward to cut it down, and also took away the war horse! Gao Changgong said with a sad face.

"Is there such a powerful weapon in the world? It's incredible! If we can really kill our cavalry in an instant, then why should we confront Chen's army? Wang Lin said a little fearfully.

"Although this weapon is extremely powerful and extremely lethal, according to the information that the reinforcements of the second attack exchanged their lives for their lives, these muskets and cannons are made of dark iron, which is very heavy and cannot be moved at will! And the number of these weapons is also very small, there are only dozens of them in total, and only the infantry battalion under the command of the forward battalion has it! Gao Changgong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"There are only a few dozen of them, but they can already wipe out half of the three thousand cavalry! So if Chen Jun creates a large number of this weapon in the future, won't it be able to sweep it down? Which immortal invented this invincible weapon? Wang Lin sighed.

"It is the commander of the infantry battalion, a boy surnamed Xiao Mingyao, nicknamed Xiao Shilang, who was only sixteen years old!" Gao Changgong's eyes lit up.

"Only sixteen? Surname Xiao? Wang Lin's eyes suddenly lit up.

According to the report of Jinling's spies, this son is the righteous son of Xiao Moke, the general of the Chen army, according to his incomparable intelligence and proficient in firearms, so he was admitted to the military camp by Wu Mingche as an exception, and was immediately awarded the position of captain of the infantry battalion, which shows the importance attached to him! However, this Xiao Yao has a flamboyant personality, is proud of his talents, is a man of the year in Jinling, and is also the brother of Chen Guoxing, the king of Chen Guoxing, and is also half of the young owner of the general firm under today's fame! Gao Changgong also said in awe.

"General Comptoir! Is it the general trading house that makes white sugar? This son turned out to be the young owner of the General Firm, why did he still join the army and go into battle with such wealth? Alas! It seems that I, Wang Lin, am really old! There is such a wicked person in Chen Guo, I don't know anything! Wang Lin said remorsefully.

"We also made a mistake, Chen Guo produced a kind talent, but we didn't know it at all, which led to a defeat on the battlefield! But it's useless to regret it now, we should find a way to break through Chen Jun's resistance! But you and I don't either, now the command of the army is in the hands of Wei Pohu, and the 30,000 army is also stationed in Xuyi, and now there are only a few thousand defenders in Xuzhou, and I can't transfer it without authorization, and I can't help General Wang! Alas! I hope General Wang can help Wei Pohu defend against Chen's army! Gao Changgong said helplessly.

"Thank you Captain for telling Wang this precious information! Wang is going to Xuyi now, and he will definitely do his best to assist General Wei to resist Chen's army! Wang Lin saluted and thanked him.
