Volume 2: The Journey Begins, the Battle of Dongtu Chapter 133 Yan Zhan is conspiring, Qingcheng is in a hurry
Looking at the position pointed by Yan Zhanyeol, Utingwe couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Just when the gate of Huiwu City was wide open and the Yunlong Army attacked, red fireworks suddenly lit up not far from the rear of the Qi army, and the Qi army obviously began to withdraw after the fireworks bloomed, and as before, they did not plan to fight with the Yunlong Army.
Looking at the scene in front of him, even if Utingwe is a big boss, he should be able to understand the relationship between the two. And what Yan Zhanlie wanted him to see was exactly this.
"It wasn't any firework, it was a flare."
"Flares?"
Listening to Yan Zhanlie's explanation, U Tingwe was confused, and after pondering for a while, the former said in detail: "When the Qi army fights, when there is occasional signal flares, it is aimed at giving orders to the rear commander. Because the moon is dark and the wind is high, the flag is not easy to see, so it is replaced. They fired a blue signal when they first attacked, but I didn't think much of it at the time. Later, when they launched a second attack, they fired a yellow signal, and they still evacuated as soon as they saw the signal, but I saw it. That's why the general was able to observe with me. Sure enough, this time it was. It shows that the signal is the order to evacuate, and they are still suspicious of harassment. ”
According to Yan Zhanlie's meaning, the Qi army was not cowardly, but purposefully harassed the Yunlong army of Huiwu City, so they attacked frequently, but they avoided fighting and only disturbed the enemy. It just so happened that at this time, two of Yan Zhanlie's subordinates ran to the head of the east city to report the situation at the south and north gates, and the results were the same as he expected, and the Qi troops at the south and north gates also withdrew when they saw the signal, which was no different from the east gate.
Hearing the report of the two soldiers, Wu Tinggui scolded his mother angrily and shouted: "Then aren't they going to keep making trouble?!" How can our army rest? Fuck, if you dare to come again, Ben will definitely lead someone to kill them all! ”
Utingwe was furious, but Yan Zhanlie was much calmer. He thought about it, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "Absolutely not." In my opinion, harassing the enemy must be preparing for the rear, and we do not yet know how many reinforcements they have in the rear and what their remedial moves. ”
As soon as he heard this, Utingwe couldn't help but shout: "Then let's not sleep?" Just like them? ”
The Yunlong army was already exhausted from several cities, and if it really didn't rest and the Qi army was consumed, it was indeed not the best policy. In addition, Yan Zhanlie had already begun to suspect that the purpose of this Qi army to disturb the enemy may be to not let them rest, and to wait for the Yunlong army to be extremely exhausted, and then attack in one fell swoop. Instantly, how can the Yunlong Army still have the energy to face the battle?
Therefore, Yan Zhanlie shook his head again and said, "What the general said is that it is not okay not to rest. Our army has come from afar to fight, and has been fighting several cities, and it is already exhausted. In order to prevent the arrival of the Qi army's reinforcements, our army still has the strength to resist, and it is indeed time to seize the time to rest and recuperate. But you must not rush into battle and fall into their trap. The Qi army is the most cunning, not like my Yunlong Iron Cavalry, who goes straight to the ground, and the general can't be fooled by them. ”
Wu Tinggui is a big old man, so that Yan Zhanlie couldn't get around what he said, and replied angrily: "Fuck, you can't fight and you can't sleep, then you say, what should we do?" ”
Yan Zhanlie pondered for a moment, calculated that the Qi army was about to attack again, and said: "General, when the Qi army comes to attack again, the general will personally lead people to attack, and the east city gate will send 5,000 troops, you can chase ten miles, and wait outside the city for a while, don't rush back to the city." Isn't the general angry? The general scolded the Qi army outside the city. ”
"Brother, what the hell do you have again?"
After all, U Tinggui had worked with Yan Zhanlie for a while, and knew that although this person was not good at fighting, his strategy was far superior to him, and he always had tricks in doing things, so he let himself go out of the city to pursue and scolded the Qi army, which must have a deep meaning.
"General, if there is someone behind them who is firing a signal, there must be a general commanding it. When our army goes into battle, we must first find out who it is fighting with and how many back-up moves they have before we can send troops to retreat from the enemy. They want to harass us with the dark moon and high wind, but they don't know that the sky is dark, and it is the most hidden. The next time the general went to battle, he led 5,000 troops, and made a look of being angry and reluctant, and the commander of the Qi army must have thought that our side could no longer hold his breath, and there should be a change of tactics immediately. And I will send spies to chase them deep and find out what they are doing. Once we figure out what they're trying to do, we'll know what to do. ”
Yan Zhanlie really had another plan, and after hearing this, Utingwe nodded and said, "Okay, then according to what you said, I will play with them for a while." After finding out their reality, if there really is only this little force, hmph, I will definitely kill them by surprise and vent my anger. ”
"The general can rest assured, there will be a chance to make the general angry. Well? The Qi army is really here again, okay, let's ask the general to 'go to war'." ”
Yan Zhanlie deliberately said the word "going to war" a little heavier, and after hearing it, Wu Tinggui glanced at the Qi army attacking from outside the city, and then led people to act according to the plan. Sure enough, this time the Qi army still retreated without a fight, and a purple signal was lit in the rear.
Seeing this, Yan Zhanlie hurriedly sent the shrewd and capable scouts who were good at concealment, took advantage of the dark moon and high wind to go out of the city, mixed behind the Yunlong army, and waited for them to pursue the Qi army and enter a forest outside the east city gate, and then quietly left the team, hiding their bodies while biting the Qi army.
The sky was too dark, and there were too many suitable hiding places in the woods, so the scout spies of the Cloud Dragon Army were indeed not discovered by the Qi army, and chased them twenty miles away. Seeing that the Qi army stopped and rested in place, they each found a hidden place and hid to observe carefully.
This Qi army is the dragoon army brought by Qingcheng, and after they finished the strategy of disturbing the enemy, they returned to the original location to rest, but they didn't seem to expect that the Yunlong army would send someone to investigate, and they didn't realize that they had been bitten, so they didn't deliberately guard against it, but were still talking loudly.
"I don't know what the general thinks, what's the use of not sleeping at night, just harassing the enemy back and forth?"
"Who said no, anyway, the prince is almost here, waiting for him to come, our army will press the border, and attack directly, why bother so much."
"You don't understand, our general, that's a meritorious service, that's a quick success, you have to show yourself in front of the prince, put forward this strategy to disturb the enemy, what do you say Let's harass the Yunlong army and don't let them rest, let them always be in a state of frightened birds, and then wait for the arrival of the prince and the army tomorrow, and then make a strong attack, the Yunlong army will definitely be defeated."
"Hey, he is very meritorious and teaches our brothers to work hard, it's really not a human thing."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, the general is here."
The conversation of this group of people was heard by the scouts of the Yunlong Army, and Qingcheng's strategy of harassing the enemy was fully revealed. And when they heard someone say that the general was coming, they hurriedly looked closely. Sure enough, these generals in the mouth of the Qi army were Qingcheng.
Of course, at this time, Qingcheng had not yet become famous in the world, so the scouts of the Yunlong Army did not know him. After Qingcheng came here, he first greeted the soldiers and expressed his concern, and then stood in the crowd and said loudly: "The soldiers have worked hard, and when they recapture Huiwu, I Duan Qingcheng will definitely ask for credit for the soldiers!" ”
When the soldiers heard what Qingcheng said about asking for merit, they didn't see any excitement, but they all drooped their faces one by one, looking very reluctant. Yunlong's scout looked at it in his eyes and thought to himself: How can the soldiers and generals have different hearts, how can they defeat my Yunlong?
"When General Shicaiben saw the situation outside the city, the soldiers were very brave. Moreover, the Yunlong army can no longer hold its breath, and at this time, we must step up the offensive to make them even more irritable and not rest, so that the prince's army can successfully break through the gate of Huiwu City. That General Uting Guiben saw it, a full straw bag, brave and unscrupulous, and really insulted the name of General Yunlong. Therefore, in the next attack, General Ben will personally go into battle and behead him under his horse. Immediately, if there is a chance, we will not wait for the prince, and directly attack Huiwu City and win this first victory! ”
Hearing this, the soldiers talked a lot, and they didn't seem to believe Qingcheng's words very much. But you can't blame them, after all, Huiwu has 20,000 Yunlong troops, and they, only 6,000 people, how can they attack the city? Therefore, there were bold ones in the crowd who questioned them.
"General, the enemy is three times stronger than mine, how can we break through? In my opinion, your strategy of harassing the enemy may not have any miraculous effect, but it is better for us to go back and rest as soon as possible, and come with the prince tomorrow, and then we will have the strength to go into battle to kill the enemy, otherwise we will ......."
"Fart! You dare to disturb the morale of the army, come here, take him down for me, and make an example of him! ”
As soon as Qingcheng's words fell, two soldiers walked out from beside him, tied up the person who spoke, and took him aside, looking like he was really going to do it.
"You are taking our lives to make meritorious deeds, you are not worthy of being a general, you ...... Yes! ”
The man was still scolding and accusing Qingcheng, but before he finished speaking, the Yunlong scout only heard an exclamation, and the man was silent, and it was not difficult to guess that the head had already fallen to the ground.
After killing this person, the Qi army really quieted down, Qingcheng looked at the soldiers coldly, and shouted: "If there are any more people who dare to disturb the hearts of our army in front of the battle, this is the end!" Okay, it's almost time, and the soldiers of the south and north gates are about to attack, so you can rest for a while and go out with me. Remember, if we are defeated and the signal from the rear is ignited, we will immediately withdraw here. However, this general is confident, and with these 6,000 people, he will break through the gate of Huiwu City and lead you to lead this first feat, so you must fight bravely and not be afraid to fight! ”
"No!"
Seeing that the details of the Qi army were clear, and they were about to go to battle, the Yunlong scouts hurriedly retreated. When he returned to the city, he reported what he had seen.
"General, Lord Yan Zhan, the Qi army is only more than 6,000 people, so as a strategy to disturb the enemy, but tomorrow the king of Northern Xinjiang will lead a large army to support here. The fireworks were indeed a signal for retreat, and twenty miles outside the east gate was their resting place, and according to them, the same was true of the north and south gates. By the way, the main battle this time is a young general named Duan Qingcheng, I have not heard of this person before, it should be a new general. And this person is eager for meritorious service, eager for quick success, the Qi army is already dissatisfied, and he killed the general in front of the battle, and the Qi army is already unstable. The next time he attacked the city, he would personally lead his troops to attack the east gate of our city, saying that the general was just a straw bag, and he would cut you off his horse and recapture Huiwu. ”
The Yunlong scout reported in detail what he had seen and heard, including Qingcheng's insult to Utingyu. When Utingwe heard this, he was furious and vowed to cut Qingcheng with a thousand knives......
