Chapter 135: Does It Hurt
Yongqiu is like a great enemy.
Liang Xiping received the order of the general's palace, did not dare to slack off, while strengthening the city defense, while moving the people into the city, and hurry up to harvest autumn crops, hoard grain, rush to make equipment, and prepare for long-term perseverance.
"General, the enemy is coming!"
After receiving the alarm, Liang Xiping hurriedly came to the city, and looked into the distance, the dust and smoke were billowing in the north, obviously there was a large group of cavalry galloping, he licked his lips, his eyes were fierce and unruly, and said: "The credit sent to the hand, you say, do you want it?" ”
Influenced by Liang Xiping's ears and eyes, the subordinates who followed him were all militants, laughed loudly when they heard the words, and shouted in a gossipy: "Yes! How could you not? ”
"If God doesn't take it, it will be blamed! Suo Lu is in a hurry to send us a future, don't God don't agree. ”
"Ouch, it's different what Captain Liu has read! I'm a rough man, not sensible, I only listen to the general, let me rush and rush, and collect the troops after killing! ”
"What about you? If you want me to say what kind of city to guard, just go out and fuck these dog mongrels! I still don't believe it, it's all two shoulders and a head, can the Hu people have more of that thing than our Han people? ”
"General, it's better to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold and lead people out to kill ......"
"Alright, shut up!"
Liang Xiping was upset when he listened, he fought bravely and fearlessly, and he was actually quite resistant to the orders of the General's Mansion. Defend the city and don't allow it to go out? Isn't that a bad breed? Especially against the Northern Wei Dynasty, the hatred of the country and the family, the eyes are red, can you not go out of the city to fight?
But Tan Zhuo first made an official document and wrote a letter for him in his personal capacity. The letter was earnestly spoken, analyzing the pros and cons, no matter how bold he was, he had to accept this favor.
Li Boqian rode a horse, swaying in front of the formation, the horse whip pointed at Liang Xiping at the head of the city, arrogantly and contemptuously clicked three times, left and right thousands of people dismounted together, untied their clothes and armor on the spot, took out the guy and poured urine on Yongqiu.
Spectacular!
The soldiers defending the city were furious, and they all surrounded and asked for battle, Liang Xiping's face was terrible, and he said: "Close the city gate, whoever dares to speak out to fight will not be spared!" ”
Seeing that the Chu army was timid and did not dare to go out of the city, the Wei people laughed insolently, but the strange thing is that after laughing, they did not launch an attack on the city, but went around the city and left without dust.
"Huh?"
Liang Xiping not only did not like it, but his eyebrows were tightly locked. The confidant staff stood next to him and said in a low voice: "Will you attack Xiangyi?" ”
Yongqiu and Xiangyi are each other's horns, self-contained, defending Yong must defend Xiang, attacking Yong must also attack Xiang, Xiangyi only has a thousand troops, and the weak brigade of the Jingzhou army is the mainstay, and the combat effectiveness can not be compared with the elite of the Chinese army guarding Yongqiu.
If the Wei army attacks Xiangyi, will he save it or not?
If you save it, you don't have to think about it to know that there must be ambush soldiers waiting for reinforcements in the middle of the road, and the Wei cavalry will fight in the field, and the outcome is unpredictable. But if you don't save it, sit back and watch Xiangyi fall, Yongqiu will become a lonely city, and the lonely city will be difficult to defend, and it will die for the art of war......
But every time he thought of the strict orders of the General's Mansion, he had to force the idea of going out of the city to kill him, after all, Tan Zhuo also promised him that guarding Yongqiu was a great achievement!
"Send a few clever people to quietly go out of the city tonight to inquire about the news of Xiangyi. Remember, don't get too close, and don't show the wind inward! ”
"Yes!"
Bang!
Sparks fly!
Liang Xiping drew his knife to cut the battlements, full of unyielding and rolling irritability, and scolded: "It's a bullshit fight, it's really not happy at all!" ”
The staff persuaded: "General Ling Cao is proficient in the art of war, and if the Wei people want to conquer Xiangyi, it is not something that can be easily done. ”
"I hope so!" Liang Xiping snorted coldly: "I have seen a lot of wine bags and rice bags that do not match the name!" ”
The staff knew that Liang Xiping and Ling Cao had a discordant temperament, so they smiled and didn't speak, Shi Li retreated, and arranged for the spies to pay attention to the dynamics in the direction of Xiangyi at all times.
Ling Cao, the commander of Xiangyi, is Xue Xuanmo's subordinate, born in a scholar clan, and Liang Xiping is completely different from each other. Ping Su likes a high-crowned robe, and he is good at talking about the art of war, everyone thinks that he talks about soldiers on paper, but every time he makes suggestions, he also has a lot of time to say. This time he accompanied the army to the west, and upon the recommendation of Xue Xuanmo, he was able to guard Xiangyi and was controlled by Liang Xiping.
Discovering the movement of the Wei army, Ling Cao was drinking and feasting in the mansion, not panicking at all, and said with a smile: "This is Suo Lu's suspicious plan, only to put pressure on me with a small team, the real main force should be besieging Yongqiu." Order all departments to take turns on duty, eat and rest as usual, don't panic, after three days, Suo Yu will retreat! ”
The guests were full of praise, saying that Ling Cao had the style of an ancient benevolent general, and Ling Cao was proud, drinking three bottles in a row. After another half an hour, his subordinates made an urgent report: "The Wei army is suspected to have tens of thousands of people and is preparing to attack the city!" ”
Ling Cao was drunk, his long sleeves were flying, and he danced with those dancing girls, but he also had a bit of grace, and said, "Hahaha, is Suo Lu bullying me stupid?" Li Boqian killed 3,000 soldiers and horses, even if he coerced the people of the surrounding villages, it was only five or six thousand, where did the tens of thousands come from? Besides, those who know the art of war will attack Yongqiu first, if Yongqiu is lost, Xiangyi will not be attacked, if Yongqiu is still there, attack Xiangyi, is not afraid of being cut off by General Liang and retreat? Okay, okay, don't disturb my drinking, let the city head take turns to shoot a few arrows indiscriminately today, and scare the enemy away! ”
The guests cheered in unison, pushed the glasses and changed the lamps, and the atmosphere of the banquet reached its peak.
After another quarter of an hour, his subordinates were covered in blood and rushed into the backyard, saying, "General, the city is broken......"
Ling Cao didn't react, he was drunk, and he was wandering around in a dream, snoring and sleeping.
On that day, Xiangyi killed 300 soldiers in the battle, and the city surrendered, Ling Cao was greedy for life and afraid of death after waking up, and also surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty. When the news reached Yongqiu, Liang Xiping scolded all night, but because of this, he also broke off other thoughts, concentrated all his energy, recruited people, rushed to make arrows and crossbows, and everything was in order.
Li Boqian was like a wind and clouds, and he connected the five cities, and only the state of Cangyuan and the important town of Yongqiu were left in northern and eastern Henan were still under the control of the Chu State. He was full of ambition and gradually became arrogant, thinking that the Chu people were vulnerable, so he turned around and attacked Yongqiu.
This time there was no friction, there was no use of tactics, directly led the troops to attack the city, the bloody battle all day, more than 100 people were killed and wounded, and even the city head did not go up, and also refreshed the largest number of casualties since the march into Yuzhou, and had no choice but to retreat five miles and began to camp and repair.
On the second day of the re-battle, although dozens of soldiers successfully climbed to the top of the city, Liang Xiping personally risked arrows, armed with broadswords, killed 17 people in a row, and successfully counterattacked back, blocking the precarious gap.
On this day, more than 300 people were killed and wounded!
In view of the lack of troops in hand, if they continue to fight, even if they conquer Yongqiu, they will not lose more than they gain, and there is no way to continue to go south to create turmoil and chaos for the Chu State.
His strategic goal is not to attack the city and conquer the territory, but to stimulate the enemy's nerves during the movement, disrupt the enemy's deployment by surprise, maintain coercion, and create pressure.
But there are too few troops, and these are all jokes!
"Liang Xiping is known as a brave general, really powerful!"
Li Boqian's face is quite unsightly, Yongqiu City has strong walls, can be outwitted, it is difficult to win, Yuan Mulan had an order before, asking him to besiege Xiangyi, using it as bait, and thinking of luring Liang Xiping to help, as long as most of Liang Xiping can be annihilated in the wild, Yongqiu is not ready to capture?
Who wants to be greedy and misneous, Xiangyi City was broken in an instant, Li Boqian didn't even have time to Mingjin to withdraw his troops, but such a victory also gave him the illusion that fighting the Jingzhou army was like killing chickens, and the Chinese army was stronger, but it was just killing pigs.
Therefore, he wanted to finish his work in one battle, and after conquering Yongqiu, he would be able to establish the most stable stronghold in eastern Henan, and connect with northern Henan, which could be attacked and defended, and he would be invincible.
What's more, with such a great achievement, Yuan Mulan should always take a look at him, right?
Li Boqian was born in the Xianbei aristocratic Li family, and later changed to the Han surname Li, he prides himself on being romantic, is a famous playboy in Pingcheng, five years ago I happened to see Yuan Mulan, since then, take the second flower bush lazy review, weak water 3,000 only drink this scoop, wash the heart and face, away from the Qinglou painting boat, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
After capturing Xiangyi, he thought that the opportunity had come, and he couldn't sleep all night with excitement; After Yongqiu was frustrated, he saw the opportunity sneaking away again, and slapped him in the face!
Does it hurt?
Hurt!
"General, it's better to let Ling Cao go to the front of the battle early tomorrow morning to persuade him to surrender, even if Liang Xiping refuses to surrender, it can be seen that the robe in the past is used by me, and it can also shake the military spirit of the Chu army, and the army's heart is in chaos, and no matter how strong the city is, it is useless."
Li Boqian followed the advice, waited until dawn, and let Ling Cao go to the city alone to persuade him to surrender. Liang Xiping stretched out his bow and arrows, pointed at Ling Cao from afar, and said angrily: "You have been favored by the imperial court, betrayed the lord and betrayed the country, what face do you have to stand under the city?" ”
Ling Cao smiled bitterly; "I was drunk and miserous, lost Xiangyi, and should have died quickly, but remembering that the general did not know the situation in the enemy's camp, he pretended to defect to the enemy, but in fact he inquired into the details of the captivity. Li Boqian's army had no food, and relied on the grain and grass plundered from all over the country to barely satisfy his hunger, and attacked Yongqiu in the past two days, suffering heavy casualties, and his troops were already afraid, and wanted to return north to join the main force of the Wei army. As long as the general holds out for another five days, Suo Lu will be defeated......"
Before the words fell, dozens of arrows shot from behind, nailing Ling Cao's whole person to the ground, bleeding like an infusion, and he died instantly, but he died peacefully, and his side face was still smiling.
Li Boqian was fooled by this, and his mood was even worse, so he dragged the soldier who offered the plan down and beat him with twenty military sticks, his skin was open, and he almost died.
Stimulated by Ling Cao's death before the battle, Yongqiu City had high ambitions, from the Chinese army to the common people, they were all unwilling to fight to the death, and Liang Xiping even ordered people to hang two large banners at the head of the city, which read:
castrated Li Boqian as a slave and captured Yuan Mulan alive as a concubine!
"At noon tomorrow, three hundred men from each of the two teams will feint to attack the west gate and the east gate, and the rest will be the main force to attack the north gate. Under the drums, the owners of the buildings who did not climb the head of the city were all beheaded! ”
Li Boqian was so angry that he decided to make a desperate bet, as long as he captured Yongqiu, no matter how many casualties he had, it would be more merit than demerit. But if he leaves here, not to mention that the military heart is unavailable, even the two banners hung by Liang Xiping's turtle son can make him completely useless in front of Yuan Mulan.
As long as Yuan Mulan sees him, she will think of Yongqiu's insult, how can he still be a princess, how can he be a beauty, how can he fly together?
"The city is broken, and Ren Er will wait for three days to loot!"
Everyone's eyes immediately turned red!
