Chapter 121: The Power of Guazhou
It is said that Wei Ning led 5,000 troops to attack Guazhou, but the troops arrived at the city but were not in a hurry to attack.
Demolition order troops, the same three villages, each near the mountain danger, set up camp in Tiandang Mountain, dozens of miles outside Guazhou City.
The lieutenants on the left and right did not understand what they meant, and they all shouted and shouted. But Wei Ning insisted on going his own way, and said with a smile, "If it is easy to take Guazhou alone, it is not gratifying, but if you can annihilate Nanda Camp in one fell swoop, it can be described as a miracle!" It's a pity that Han Xiaozhi is not in the camp, which is a pity! ”
On the same day, Wei Ning sent a general to divide half of his troops in this village to call for battle under the city of Deguazhou, and ordered the general to only feint and not advance! If you encounter the southern camp military horses, you can only retreat but not attack.
However, this order caused the general to be dissatisfied, and he said angrily, "Why did the governor send me to such a grievance?" I don't know that I have a blood feud with that Han Xiaozhi! ”
Wei Ning got up and said, "In the past, Uncle Gu Dan, the king of the Southern Kingdom, was your uncle, and you and he not only had the hatred of exterminating the clan, but also the hatred of destroying the country. How can I not know about the blood feud between General Ugin and Han Xiaozhi? ”
When Ugin heard this, he was even more sad and angry, "In that case, why did the Metropolitan Governor send me to do such a thing of a nest? ”
"General Ugin doesn't need to be angry, listen to me!" When Wei Ning heard this, he smiled and said, "Now there are less than 50,000 soldiers and horses left in Han Yu's Nanda Battalion, and his Xu Kingdom is already in internal and external distress at this moment, and the fall of the Nanda Camp is only a matter of time." But I heard that Liu Yu, the little emperor of Xu Guo, is supervising the battle in this Guazhou city, if our army besieges Guazhou tightly, and deliberately leaks a flaw in the arrangement, the Nanda battalion will definitely divide troops to rescue and will attack our department, wouldn't it be a good time for General Ugin to take revenge on the shame? ”
When Ugin heard this, he knew that he was reasonable, and immediately thanked him with great joy, and went out of the tent to lead the troops.
However, it is said that Xu Feng led the army to retreat along the path, and there was no obstacle along the way, except for the ambush of a small group of men and horses, and finally arrived at dawn on the fifth day.
Taking advantage of the mist, Xu Feng sent someone to the city of Guazhou to inform him first. The soldiers rode forward, but before they could say a few words, they were suddenly shot off their horses by a cold arrow from the city. Xu Fengden was furious, and pointed at the city and shouted, "I am Xu Feng, the right general of the Nanying!" Why did you hurt my soldiers! ”
As soon as the words fell, the city was in flames, and through the mist, a row of archers could be seen leaning out, and their bows and arrows were aimed at their own men. The leader laughed even more, "Your Majesty has an order, Nanda Camp collaborates with the enemy and treason, and I have been waiting here for a long time!" ”
After that, arrows rained down on the city in an instant. Xu Feng hurriedly led the army to retreat a hundred paces, and shouted, "We just broke through desperately from the front line, just to save you from the danger of Guazhou!" Why do you slander us? ”
He didn't hear the reply from the city, and suddenly heard the horse's hooves behind him, Xu Feng hurriedly turned around and looked, and through the mist, he vaguely saw a military horse galloping towards him.
Knowing friend or foe, Xu Feng had to put the whole army on alert first, and the shield soldiers pressed the front row to suppress the formation, and made the crossbowmen ready to attack.
When the enemy was less than 100 paces, Xu Feng saw the flag of Chen Guojun reflected on a banner, and then saw that the leader knew that it was Ugin of the former Southern Barbarian State, and immediately ordered a salvo of bows and crossbows.
In order to prevent the Guazhou army and horses from sneaking up on the back, Xu Feng was not afraid to send a deputy general to suppress the rear army, and he personally led the army to meet the battle.
Ugin led 500 soldiers to face the flying arrows in the sky, although the people turned on their backs but they were not afraid at all, and when they arrived in front of Xu Feng's 20,000 army, they rushed into the formation and slashed several people with swords, and then led the army to retreat after knowing that they were outnumbered.
Xu Feng saw the truth of the Chinese army and knew that it was a feint, but he led 3,000 troops to chase after him.
Chase to Tiandang Mountain and meet the Ugin soldiers and horses. The two armies set out, and Xu Feng took out his horse and singled out Ugin.
Wu Jin raised his sword and rode out, and just after the two fought for more than ten times, Xu Feng's rear army suddenly shouted, and when he turned around, he saw the banner of Chen Jun behind the mountain, and he was shocked.
Xu Feng didn't dare to fight, so he pulled his horse and walked back. Wei Ning covered the killing from behind, and Ugin in front led troops to kill, and attacked twice, Xu Feng's army and horses were exhausted and suffered a heavy defeat.
The battle was won, but Ugin wanted to lead the army to chase after him, but Wei Ning hurriedly stopped him, "Although the enemy army is a tired division, the enemy is outnumbered, and we must not chase after it for the sake of the courage of a horseman!" ”
Wei Ning still divided his troops to defend Sanzhai, and placed more wooden artillery stones, so that all his troops could not fight without military orders.
desperately fought his way out of the encirclement, and the 3,000 soldiers he brought with him were less than 2,000.
After escaping death, Xu Fengqian could not enter, and he could not enter later, so he had to rush to Lingnan County, which was fifty miles away from Guazhou, to station, rest for the time being, and then make plans to re-enter the city.
That night, a small servant touched the city and told the city defense of the night vigil: entrusted by someone, he came to Xu Feng with a secret letter.
The soldiers led him into the palace to meet Xu Feng.
Today's defeat is not allowed to enter Guazhou. Xu Feng couldn't sleep at night, sad and indignant, and was silently sitting alone in front of the table and meditating on a solution to the problem. When I saw the person who came and asked him what he meant, I couldn't help but be confused, "Who is the owner of your family?" Why did you send a secret letter overnight? ”
The little servant knelt respectfully, took out the letter in his arms and handed it to the soldier to Xu Feng, and then replied, "The little master is an old friend of General Han, and sending me to deliver the letter today is also to repay the general's past kindness." ”
Xu Feng frowned and became suspicious, and after reading the letter, he suddenly slammed the table and shouted, "Who is your master, how dare you say such a rebellious remark?" ”
When the little servant heard this, he did not mess up at all, as if he had expected it, and replied respectfully, "What my master said in his letter is true, and when the villain came, he told the villain: Your Majesty has already controlled Guazhou, and if the general insists on leading the army into the city, it will be unexpected!" ”
"That's nonsense!" Xu Feng was furious and scolded, "Such a clumsy plan of discord dares to deceive the general!" As he spoke, he wanted to let the left and right take him down and ask him for the guilt.
The servant suddenly sneered and shouted, "The general has heard of Chu Yan and Chu Bo'an!" ”
"Chu ...... Chu Yan? ”
Xu Feng's wide-eyed eyes were still frightened, and he waved his hand to leave the house and wait. Then he sat down slowly and looked at the servant in front of him again, "Who are you?" ”
The servant slowly raised his head, reflecting the dim yellow oil on the table, and grinned, "Since the general knows the name of my family's marshal, why do you ask again?" ”
"...... you," Xu Feng asked in disbelief, "you said you were from the North Daying...... How can Ben trust you? They are in the bitter cold land of the northern realm of Daxu, according to which there are 108,000 miles to go! ”
When the servant heard this, he took out a crystal clear orb from his arms, got up and handed it to Xu Feng, and then knelt down again and said, "This is the answer!" ”
Xu Feng picked up the pebble-sized white orb and looked at the lamp repeatedly, still not knowing what it meant, "I don't have this preference!" I'm afraid you've found the wrong person! As he spoke, he wanted to throw the priceless orb on the ground.
"General, slow!" The little servant hurriedly arched his hand and said, "This orb is exactly what Uncle Feng Guo is looking for!" General Han Gao Fengliang knew that my Beiying was cold, so he transferred all the boxes of rare treasures that Uncle Feng Guo gave to him in order to win him over to my Beidaying! This priceless orb is one of them! ”
"There is some truth to this......
Xu Feng had already known all the things about Han Yu after he entered Beijing through Li Ping. Then he nodded, but still puzzled and asked, "Do you have any other credentials?" ”
The little servant suddenly sighed, "The marshal of my family knew that your Nanying would have this calamity, but after all, it was your majesty...... This time, I came to help you, but I could only lead a small number of military horses to hide in Guazhou City disguised as past merchants. Therefore, there is no other proof! ”
"So, your handsome family is in Guazhou City at the moment?" Xu Feng thought for a moment, raised his head and asked, "Since he knows that this move is His Majesty's intention, why is he willing to take the risk alone, and even more so to unite with my southern camp to counterattack Guazhou!" Isn't that a rebellion? ”
The servant replied, "What the letter says may not be clear enough, but the situation in Guazhou is too complicated now. Although Your Majesty is in control on the surface, in fact, there are undercurrents of forces in the city, and it is only after discovering all kinds of reasons in these days that the marshal of my family ordered me to come to deliver the letter! ”
"You, be clear!" Xu Fengduan sat up and looked at the kneeling servant with a solemn face.
"Now there are almost three forces in Guazhou, one of which is the military city defense controlled by His Majesty, but Xiahou Jin, who joined the army, has already led the army to Luoxia; The second is the peace faction led by Taishou Yu Yao, who have been making peace with the Southern Alliance for a long time, and the purpose is to completely annihilate your southern camp! ”
After hearing this, Xu Feng was not surprised at all, after all, these things had long been expected. And the peace faction led by Yu Yao may also act on Liu Yu's secret order. Then, he said indifferently, "These generals have already guessed, since they are all His Majesty's will, we should obey them, and An Neng will do great rebellious things in order to survive?" ”
"That's the third one!" The servant replied, "This third force is the spies of the Patriotic Nation!" They have been secretly lurking in Guazhou for many years, and have been waiting for an opportunity to move, and now they are taking this opportunity to cooperate with the defense of the state to annihilate your Nanying headquarters! ”
"Who? How bold! ”
"Guazhou Lin family, Lin Xun!"
"The Lin family?"
When Xu Feng heard this name, he was stunned, feeling as if his head was about to split, and shouted impossible, "Do you know who the Lin family in Guazhou is related to!" ”
The servant replied calmly, "It is the Guazhou Lin family who has this marriage contract with General Han!" ”
Seeing that he was so determined, Xu Feng felt that his whole body seemed to be out of breath, and after standing up and easing his emotions, he said, "Is there any evidence?" ”
"All the Guazhou soldiers and horses were taken away by Xiahou Jin, and there were less than three thousand garrisons in the city at this moment. The Lin family has secretly recruited and trained many dead soldiers over the years, and if they don't give up, they will be placed under house arrest in Yao to earn your army into the city! ”
When Xu Feng heard this, his heart sank, and after swallowing his saliva, he asked again, "So your family commander means to take this opportunity to eradicate this person with our army?" ”
The servant nodded, "This time, I came secretly from the Beida camp, and I didn't have many soldiers, after eradicating this person, I can help your army concentrate on uniting and destroying Wei Ning's department!" ”
