Volume 2: The Journey Begins, The Battle of Dongtu Chapter 131 Lion Wolf Fox Peng, Nanpeng Pioneer
Qingcheng took charge of the troops again and gave orders, but this time he was not facing the 30,000 or 50,000 Haichuan army, but the 100,000 people in Dongtu, and Yunlong to help. The king of the northern frontier of this first battle was relieved to hand it over to him, in order to make the battle of Qingcheng amazing, so that he could convince the public when he was entrusted with important tasks in the future. Therefore, this battle is only allowed to be won, not lost.
However, the closest to them was nothing more than a small group of Yunlong Vanguard Army, and it was expected that the strength of the army should not be stronger than the size of the Dragoon Army, Fengcheng Army and Ningcheng Army combined, so the troops were victorious. However, in Qingcheng's view, victory is inevitable, but how to fight a beautiful victory is the examination question given to Qingcheng by the king of Northern Xinjiang.
The king of Northern Xinjiang had told Qingcheng earlier that Duan Feiyan's "strange military strategy" was the best work of the Great Qi Art of War, and he wanted to know how much Qingcheng had learned. The so-called "surprise strategy" pays attention to surprise and attack unprepared, and how to decide the victory with a surprise army, so as to minimize the casualties of our army, is the core strategy.
Therefore, Qingcheng knew the intention of the king of Northern Xinjiang, not only to win a battle to curb the momentum of Yunlong's attack, but more importantly, how to preserve the strength of the western expeditionary army for later use. After all, the forces of Daqi are very widely distributed, and each has its own duties, so there are not many that can be used to assist Xitui.
In the early battle with Haichuan, Qingcheng first showed its edge and defeated the Haichuan Naval Division, using the strategy of "strange soldiers", but it also had the support of the right time, place and people, so that it could be successful. However, if you want to repeat the old trick this time, I'm afraid it's impossible, so how will Qingcheng break the enemy?
On the afternoon of the second day, Thunder Shadow returned with a scout and delivered the information. Qingcheng immediately summoned Liu Suifeng and Ding Yuanbo to discuss the matter, and did not hide his selfishness.
Lei Ying first asked Uncle Ding Yuan to borrow a map, and after unfolding it, he marked many places on the map, and Qingcheng looked at the mark he made and frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the matter, Huiwu City is also lost?" ”
Huiwu City is a big city in the west of Ningyuan City, only fifty miles away from Ningyuan City, if Huiwu is lost, then the next target must be Ningyuan City. And Qingcheng looked at the mark of the Thunder Shadow, and obviously put Wucheng into Yunlong's sphere of influence, so he asked this question.
"General Yu, according to our investigation, Yunlong's offensive momentum is fierce, and it has conquered the eighth city of Xitui, and now, Huiwu City has planted the banner of Yunlong, and their next target is this Ningyuan City."
However, in the short period of ten days, Yunlong actually conquered another city, and everyone was shocked when they heard it. No wonder the King of Northern Xinjiang is so eager to let Qingcheng fight, Yunlong's offensive momentum is indeed unstoppable, if you really wait until the King of Northern Xinjiang arrives in Ningyuan to make plans, I'm afraid it's really too late.
When Uncle Ding Yuan heard that Ning Yuan was in danger, he was worried that the garrison would not be secured, so he hurriedly asked, "How many troops does the enemy have?" Can there be a general leading the troops? ”
"There are 20,000 Yunlong troops in Huiwu City, and the main one will be Wutinggui, the right vanguard of Yunlong's 'Nanpeng Army'."
"The right vanguard of the Nanpeng Army?"
Hearing Lei Ying's description of the future of the enemy army, Liu Suifeng nodded with interest and said with a smile: "The vanguard is actually Utinggui, that's easy to do." ”
Hearing this, Qingcheng asked tentatively, "Does Brother Liu know this person?" ”
"It's a hand-to-hand fight", Liu Suifeng nodded yes, and explained: "This person is the right vanguard of the Nanpeng Army, brave and unscrupulous, mediocre in ability, and has no achievements in the Yunlong Army. ”
As soon as Liu Suifeng said this, Qingcheng listened to it and fell into silence. He can understand the meaning of the former, maybe this person is an unpopular general, let Qingcheng and others meet, victory is inevitable, this is what they should be happy about. However, it is such an unpopular military general who actually took Huiwu City within ten days, it is conceivable how incompetent the deployment and coach of Huiwu must be, and this is what Liu Suifeng said should be lost.
Thinking about the last years of the Wu Dynasty, the Han family raised troops to revolt, and the Quartet was invincible, and in the future, the Central Plains was won, and the Great Qi was established, and the defenders on all sides were also strong troops, and then the Quartet generals led the border defense, Qingcheng thought that the strength of the Great Qi would be better than in the past, but when the door was opened, this beautiful scenery was both short and fragile.
Thinking of this, Qingcheng couldn't help but feel worried about the future of Daqi. Don't say it, let's just say that the uncle in front of him is also the commander of a city and a frontier general, but he is not only mediocre in his ability and talent, but also arrogant and arrogant, and he only cares about enjoying the glory, but he neglects to take precautions, and he has no wind of a big general. If it weren't for Liu Suifeng to break the siege this time, the Dragoon Army and the Fengcheng Army would have successfully entered Ningyuan City, Qingcheng would have imagined that he would be able to follow in the footsteps of Wuyuan.
And how many generals like this will there be in Daqi? Qingcheng thinks, not to mention, if half of the hundred cities in the world are such mediocre talents, then how can Daqi talk about unifying the Quartet, thousands of generations, and prosperity forever?
"It has only been 14 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and military generals from all over the country have become extravagant. On the other hand, Yunlong, just a right vanguard of the Nanpeng Army who does not enter the stream, can even conquer several cities in my west, and the other will grow, and what will I take with Yunlong in ten years? Besides, there are Huchen in the south, the Western Regions are unstable, and the subject countries of the East China Sea have their own ghosts, so I will go on like this for a long time, won't I ...... it?"
Seeing that Qingcheng was silent in thought, Xu saw his worries, Liu Suifeng broke the silence and chuckled, then patted Qingcheng on the shoulder, interrupted his thoughts and comforted: "Let's not worry about the sky, maybe people have masters to help, we don't know." Besides, isn't it precisely because of such a country that we need generals like us to show their ambitions and revitalize the strong Qi? Be yourself, be a good military general of Daqi, don't think about the rest, let's talk about how you want to fight this battle. ”
Liu Suifeng is right, it doesn't help to think so far, it's better to do the most important thing in front of you first. After reorganizing his emotions, Qingcheng nodded at Liu Suifeng and thanked him, and then said: "Among the elite of Yunlong, 'one lion, two wolves, three foxes and four pengs' are the most famous, among which the four Peng army are all under the control of the black wolf king, and they are used to conquer the world. Now, the right vanguard of the Nanpeng Army has come, and it seems that the Black Wolf King should also be in the west. ”
Qingcheng said, Liu Suifeng nodded, and said: "And this Wu Tinggui should only be the vanguard army, behind him, there must be Yun Longpeng will command the attack, therefore, it is not difficult to recapture Huiwu City, but after recapturing Huiwu, I am afraid that what will be faced later is the real elite of Yunlong." ”
Among the Yunlong army, the most elite is this "one lion, two wolves, three foxes and four pengs". Among them, the Golden Lion Army guards the royal court, guarding the safety of the King of the Cloud Dragon, and will not leave the country easily. And the next two wolf armies refer to the two major regents of Yunlong, the Black Wolf King and the Red Wolf King. The Three Fox Army is the guard of the three princes of Yunlong, among which the most famous "Silver Fox King" is the one that has invaded Daqi several times, and it can be said that in addition to the Black Wolf King, it is the most headache for the King of Northern Xinjiang.
As for the Sipeng Army, it is the four most famous of the town armies that Yunlong used to conquer the world. The commander of the Sipeng Army is known as the "Sipeng General", which belongs to the department of the Black Wolf King, with strong strength and a world-famous reputation. This time, Yunlong united with Dongtu to attack, and the vanguard was the right vanguard of the Nanpeng Army, one of the Sipeng Army, so Liu Suifeng believed that someone in the Sipeng Army should also come to Daqi Xitui to command the battle.
Qingcheng also has this idea, so as Liu Suifeng said, it is not difficult to defeat a Utinggui, but what he has to face afterwards is the real elite of Yunlong's attack on Daqi this time. Therefore, Qingcheng's plan must not be considered in terms of one battle, but must be seen in one battle and three battles in order to ensure victory in the future. This is also a kind reminder from Liu Suifeng.
"What Brother Liu said is extremely true, so Qingcheng thinks that if this battle is to be won, it is necessary to ensure that our troops cannot be attacked."
Hearing this, Uncle Ding Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help asking: "The enemy army is only 20,000, and the main general is the one who is not in the middle of the stream as Hou Ye said, and the soldiers of the three parties together have 60,000 people. Since it is three times the enemy, why can't it be stormed? ”
Uncle Dingyuan should have been worried that Ning Yuan would lose, so he was eager to send troops to retreat from the enemy. Hearing this, Qingcheng shook his head and explained: "Although our army is three times the enemy, the enemy who knows how to fight is only the vanguard, and we don't know how many troops there are behind." If you rashly attack, the enemy army will definitely defend to the death, and you can't take the martial arts for a while, and we will have no reinforcements, but the enemy who will be martial arts still has reinforcements from the seven cities in the rear, so if you continue to fight, our army will suffer a lot of damage, even if you successfully retreat from the enemy, how can our army have the strength to face the 100,000 people in the east map? ”
Although Dingyuan Bo was eager to send troops, he couldn't talk about Qingcheng for a while, so he had to give up. Liu Suifeng, who was on the side, pondered for a moment, and said with a meaningful smile: "It seems that Brother Xian wants me to wait to see Duan Shuai's 'strange military strategy'." I just wanted to open my eyes. ”
Liu Suifeng understood Qingcheng's intentions, the latter chuckled and nodded, and it happened that at this time, the wind came to report, claiming that everything that Qingcheng asked him to prepare had been prepared, just waiting for Qingcheng to give an order. Hearing this, Qingcheng was a little happy, and said, "Okay, now that the things are ready, we should also go to Huiwu City to set off a fireworks." ”
After that, Qingcheng put away his smile and gave a serious order: "Where is the thunder shadow and the wind?" ”
"The end will be here!"
"Order the two of you to lead two thousand elite soldiers each to camp outside the south and north gates of Huiwu, and send troops to attack the city at the end of the day."
"Whoa!"
Qingcheng asked Lei Ying and Storm to lead two thousand people to attack the city, Ding Yuanbo thought that he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but ask: "Two thousand people to attack the city?" Segment...... General, did I hear me right? But there are 20,000 enemy troops in Huiwu? ”
Hearing this, Qingcheng explained: "Dingyuan Bo rest assured, the end will lead another 2,000 elite soldiers to attack the East City Gate. ”
Two thousand more were added. But Qingcheng's explanation might as well not be said, which made Dingyuan even more unpredictable. Obviously there were 60,000 soldiers, but only 6,000 people were brought to attack Huiwu City, which was garrisoned by 20,000 enemy troops, which in Dingyuanbo's eyes was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and there was no chance of victory.
However, in Qingcheng's opinion, just one Huiwu City, guarded by Utingyu, was enough for six thousand people. Liu Suifeng on the side listened to Qingcheng's general's order, although he couldn't figure out what he was planning, but at least he could understand that Qingcheng was not a light enemy, but another surprise soldier to attack, as for these 6,000 people, they should only be used for doubtful soldiers.
"Brother Liu, I still have to bother you to set off fireworks for us when we are waiting for the attack to be martial."
"Oh? Am I just going to set off fireworks for you? Qingcheng, if the future war is so easy, then the foolish brother is really happy, haha. ”
"Big brother, you don't have a lot of time to do in this job, if you want to defeat the enemy in this battle, the most important thing is those fireworks in your hands......"
