Chapter 133: Qin County's Plea for Help
In Xuyi City, looking at the letters asking for help, Wei Pohu was big: Why did Chen Jun move so quickly? Just after receiving the news of Chen's army crossing the river to fight, there was an urgent report from Qin County asking for help! I also estimated that in this river-crossing operation, the defenders on the riverside could hold off the enemy for at least a day or two, and I had time to send reinforcements to support Qin County, why was Qin County suddenly surrounded now?
"Are the riverside defenders all rubbish? It only took one hour for Chen Jun to break through the blockade of the ship array and occupy the water village! Have all the defensive preparations you made before been in vain? Is the general in charge of guarding the riverside dead? I'm going to get him martialed! After listening to the report of his subordinates, Yu Pohu said angrily.
"We are not good at water warfare, and if we want to stop Chen Jun on the river, it is a class to get an axe! Moreover, the soldiers who escaped back all said that Chen Jun used spells to summon heavenly fire to attack, and even caused a big explosion! These unbelievable attacks are truly unbelievable! But now that they have crossed the river, it is useless for us to investigate who is responsible, and the most important thing now is to consider whether to send reinforcements as soon as possible while Qin County has not been broken by the Chen army! The general Changsun Hong persuaded slightly.
"The situation of Qin County, General Changsun, knows better than me, there are less than 10,000 defenders, and now they have been surrounded by tens of thousands of Chen troops, plus they say that the Chen army is so powerful, and they can use spells, if you rashly send reinforcements, I am afraid that before the reinforcements arrive, Qin County has already been breached, and then we will become the rabbit waiting for the rabbit!" Yu Pohu worried.
"This, isn't the general going to send troops to rescue Qin County?" Eldest Sun Hong was a little speechless, didn't you lead 30,000 elite soldiers to Xuyi to support Qin County? Why don't you go now when you see that Qin County is surrounded? Are you scared?
"Think twice! Although Chen has 100,000 troops to attack, they have been divided into three routes, those Chen troops who surrounded Qin County are only 50,000 or 60,000 at most, and we have nearly 40,000 troops here in Xuyi, plus 10,000 defenders of Qin County, this kind of strength is completely capable of fighting with Chen Jun! Eldest Sun Hong slightly analyzed.
"But the spies reported that it was the Middle Route Army led by Wu Mingche himself who surrounded Qin County, which was the main force of the Chen Army and the strongest, and they broke through our ship formation in only one hour, and the whole army crossed the river, I am worried that Qin County will not be able to wait for our reinforcements!" Yu Pohu said hesitantly.
"Even if we give up Qinjun, do we have to give up on the Liyang side? If the city is besieged, but we stand by and watch the brothers defending the city being broken and killed by the Chen army, it will definitely make the soldiers feel cold! In addition, it is not the main force of the Chen army that is besieging Liyang, we should send troops to rescue Liyang! The eldest grandson suggested slightly.
"Then we will send 10,000 elite soldiers to support Liyang first! As for Qinjun's side, let's take a look first, if the defenders of Qinjun fight bravely and resist the siege of Chen's army, it is best to inflict heavy losses on Chen's army, then we will go south to support Qinjun and defeat Chen's army in one fell swoop! Wei Pohu ordered.
Just when Wei Pohu sent 10,000 cavalry to support Liyang, the next day, he received a letter of help from the defenders of Qin County, and this time they actually reported in the letter that they had repelled the first siege of Chen's army!
"Deputy Marshal, the brothers of Qin County really lived up to expectations and successfully resisted the siege of the 50,000 Chen army, let's hurry up and send troops to reinforce Qin County!" Eldest Sun Hong said excitedly.
"Good! That's great! Unexpectedly, the Chen army was so strong and strong, and an army of 50,000 people could not break through a Qin County with only 10,000 defenders! General Changsun, you first lead 3,000 elite cavalry to reinforce Qin County and find out the truth and truth, and then I personally lead Xuyi's 20,000 troops to Qin County, and then join forces with the defenders there to defeat Chen's army in one fell swoop! Yu Pohu also said excitedly, finally like Gao Changgong, he can lead the troops to defeat the enemy's encirclement, and then he can become famous in one battle and become the god of war in everyone's hearts!
。。。。。。
"Wei Pohu, the deputy marshal of the Qi army, has sent the general Changsun Hongluo to lead three thousand elite cavalry to Qin County! Shiro's trick to encircle the point and send reinforcements really worked! Wu Mingche said happily after listening to the spies' return.
"The Grand Governor, the last general is willing to lead the forward battalion soldiers to ambush this cavalry!" Cheng Wenji asked Wu Mingche for battle.
"General Cheng's forward battalion is only 5,000 people, of which the cavalry is less than 2,000, how can he deal with the 3,000 elite cavalry of the Qi army? You must know that the Baibao Xianbei Armored Cavalry of the Qi Kingdom is an elite division that shocks the world! I think I'd better lead the cavalry battalion to stop them! "The cavalry battalion commander Xiao Moke is also grabbing this opportunity to attack!
"Haha, these 3,000 cavalry are definitely not all Baibao Xian Beijia cavalry! They are the vanguard of Qi army reinforcements, and most of them should be light cavalry who attack lightly! Moreover, General Xiao's cavalry battalion is the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and it is used to deal with these 3,000 cavalry, which is simply a knife for killing chickens! So it's up to us to deal with them with the Striker Battalion! When the time comes, as soon as their main force arrives, there will be a chance for General Xiao to perform! Moreover, the general's two sons are both captains of the forward battalion, so should the general have to compete with his own sons for such an opportunity to make meritorious contributions? Cheng Wenji stunned Xiao Moke so much that he had nothing to say.
"How could General Cheng speak to General Xiao like this! General Xiao is also very kind, you must know that the cavalry is the nemesis of the infantry, and now the other party is three thousand elite cavalry, acting quickly, although your forward battalion is brave, but you should not be arrogant! Wu Mingche came out of the round and said.
"But what you said is also reasonable, these 3,000 cavalry are only the vanguard of the Qi army, if we have to use our main cavalry battalion to deal with the vanguard of the Qi army, then when their main force arrives, we may become passive! Good! I'll leave the task of ambushing this cavalry to your forward battalion! My request is that even if I can't completely annihilate this cavalry, half of them must be wiped out, and they must not be allowed to have a horse come to Qin County! Wu Mingche ordered.
"The last general commands! The forward battalion will definitely annihilate this cavalry! Cheng Wenji immediately took the order and said.
。。。。。。
Returning to the forward battalion, Cheng Wenji immediately convened a meeting of all the generals and said solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this general has already snatched this opportunity for you to ambush the Qi army, everyone must cherish this opportunity to make meritorious contributions and work together to annihilate this cavalry!" ”
"Yes! Your subordinates will work together to destroy the enemy! Everyone responded in unison.
"Okay, everyone must maintain this fighting spirit and defeat the enemy! However, don't underestimate the opponent, after all, they have 3,000 elite cavalry, and there may be the world-famous Baibao Xianbei armored cavalry, and the cavalry of our forward battalion is less than 2,000 people, basically light cavalry, if you follow the conventional ambush tactics, it is difficult to defeat them! Shiro, what's your trick? Cheng Wenji looked at Xiao Yao and asked.
"There's no magic trick, just defeat them directly!" Xiao Yao said lightly.
"Direct defeat? It's easy to say, Shiro, I'm afraid you haven't seen these heavy cavalry attack! Although the firearms used in your infantry battalion are extremely powerful, these 3,000 cavalry are not vegetarians! And these cavalrymen will not stand there either, waiting for you to bombard them with artillery! More than a dozen of them are in small teams, scattering and attacking, quickly surround you, and then you will be directly defeated by them! Xiao Shilian, who is also a cavalry captain of the forward battalion, said sarcastically.
"I really haven't seen cavalry attack!" Xiao Yao smiled embarrassedly, "But I just need to know that they are also mortals, and they will also be injured, killed, and even frightened to run away!" And isn't there still you? You don't just want my infantry battalion to deal with these 3,000 cavalry alone, do you? ”
"Of course not! As I said just now, all the officers and men of the forward battalion must work together! Since Shiro is so confident, what is your plan? How are you going to defeat them? How can we help you? Cheng Wenji asked, during the battle of crossing the river yesterday, he was also full of expectations for Xiao Yao, who had seen the actual combat of the infantry battalion!
