"Attack one city, seek three cities, interlocking, one drum is like a tiger. Duan did not anticipate the enemy's opportunity, and calculated that Yunlong could evacuate smoothly before letting Brother Liu ambush outside the West Gate, but after Xinghe, I wanted to recapture An Rong in one fell swoop. ”

Anrong City, a small city in the west of Xinghe City, the size of the city is about the same as Xinghe. Qingcheng claimed that the ambush led by Liu Suifeng was not intended to encircle and suppress the Dulin Department, but to take advantage of the situation to recapture An Rong, which confirmed Fan Yun's conjecture and surprised him.

Although the battle of Xinghe is said to have a storm and darkness inside, and 20,000 elites of Daqi outside, it is not difficult to conquer it when it is combined inside and outside. But the matter is man-made, whether the wind can succeed, and whether the dragoons can successfully attack Xinghe, these are only speculations, but they are not ten or certain. However, even so, when Qingcheng attacked Xinghe, he could still transfer 10,000 Fengcheng troops to plan for An Rong, not to mention such a strategy, but this courage, in Fan Yun's opinion, was already enough to praise.

If the wind fails, Yunlong will also be on guard, the dragoon army will not be able to attack, and Xinghe will fall into a stalemate battle, then the so-called rear hand of Liu Suifeng's department will not be used at all. Qingcheng must understand this, but he is still dangerous, and he is indeed brave and strategic. However, Liu Suifeng only has 10,000 Fengcheng troops, even if he is elite, how can he be able to connect with Anrong?

Thinking of this, Fan Yun was slightly puzzled, so he asked: "Even so, the Fengcheng army is only 10,000 people, dare to ask the general, how can you conclude that the Marquis of Fenghu will be able to break through An Rong and regain the lost territory?" ”

Fan Yun asked the key, and Qingcheng explained with a chuckle: "That's why there is a saying 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles'." I found out in advance that An Rong was small in scale, and the defenders of the city were only Du Lin's deputy general and the Eight Thousand Cloud Dragon Army, and this kind of combat power was not the opponent of Brother Liu and the Fengcheng Army at all. As long as he can successfully break through the gate of Anrong City and rush into the city, Yunlong will definitely be invincible. And Nadulin was defeated, and he was already a frightened bird, how could he still have the heart to resist, and the intention of fighting would definitely flee in the wilderness, and the commander of the Nanpeng Army in the rear of the division would make plans again. Therefore, it is not difficult for An Rong to recapture. ”

Qingcheng is right, Du Lin was defeated and injured by Fan Yun, coupled with Qingcheng's strategy, Liu Suifeng's courage has already been taught, and he will not dare to fight to the death. What's more, An Rong only has 8,000 Yunlong troops, and in terms of strength, he does not have an advantage. In this case, An Rong will definitely be withdrawn, and the commander of the Nanpeng Army in the rear will be met, and after the troops are combined, they will make plans.

It is precisely because of this that there is a saying that the drum is like a tiger. The enemy has tasted defeat and is already afraid, but our victory has greatly boosted the morale of the army. In such a situation, if the enemy is not given a chance to breathe, and if there is no superiority in the forces of the enemy, the enemy will surely become more and more cowardly, and our side will become more and more courageous the more we fight. One eliminates the other's strengths, so why worry about it.

Fear is an emotion that is difficult to overcome in people's hearts, and once they lose to others, they will definitely be afraid in a short time, which will affect their fighting spirit and judgment. Therefore, after the war, there will be a word of recuperation, not only to restore physical strength, but also to sort out emotions so that they can make calm judgments.

And Qingcheng's plan happened to capture this psychology. Du Lin was defeated, he was already afraid, and he saw the plan of Qingcheng with his own eyes, and the courage of Fenghu Hou had already resounded through Yunlong, after all, Liu Suifeng had killed Yunlong Peng. Therefore, as long as Du Lin is not given a chance to rest and respite, and continues to fight, Du Lin still cannot win.

However, Fan Yun was puzzled, and after thinking about it, he still asked: "The general is far-sighted, but the last general still has something unclear. The Fengcheng army only has 10,000 troops, how can the general conclude that Hou Ye will be able to break through the gate of Anrong? Du Lin is indeed afraid of battle, but he can still defend it. ”

Fan Yun's concern is also reasonable, the Fengcheng army only has 10,000 troops, although there are generals like Liu Suifeng who personally lead the troops, Du Lin is naturally invincible. But if he can't hold on, it will be difficult for the Fengcheng army to conquer. Moreover, according to Fan Yun's observation, Qingcheng didn't seem to be in a hurry to support, but was very calm, if he wasn't confident, then he could only have another plan.

Hearing Fan Yun's doubts, Qingcheng turned to look at him, and after a moment of silence, he chuckled: "That's why Brother Liu is ambushed outside the West Gate." He set up an ambush here, not to encircle and suppress Dulin, but to let the tiger return to the mountain. After Du Lin left the city, he should meet him, but he had already instructed the soldiers of the Fengcheng Army to release the water a little, so that Du Lin could escape. Brother Liu followed closely behind, and stayed under Anrong City, the person who defended the city was the deputy general of Dulin, so he naturally would not sit idly by, and would definitely open the door to meet the enemy, intending to save Dulin. In this way, won't Brother Liu have a chance to attack An Rong? ”

After listening to Qingcheng's explanation, Fan Yun suddenly realized. It turned out that Liu Suifeng was ambushed outside the city, and the target was not just Du Lin, but intended to let him escape to Anrong, and then follow closely behind and take advantage of the situation to attack him.

"The Admiral is really clever. Yes, what is a Dulin, how important is it to recapture An Rong. An Rong's Yunlong army guard is Du Lin's deputy general, that person has attacked Xinghe with Du Lin, the relationship between the two is very good, and when he sees Du Lin in trouble, he will never let it go. And the Marquis of Fenghu is in hot pursuit, if he rashly releases arrows to expel him, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not hurt Du Lin and his subordinates, so as long as An Rong's Yunlong army has the intention to rescue Du Lin, he can only open the door to face the battle. Instantly, the city gate was wide open, and with the ability of the Marquis of Toyoto, it was not difficult to attack the city. ”

Fan Yun understood his plan, Qingcheng nodded lightly, and said, "This trick was used when I conquered the Huiwu City Gate. The people of Yunlong attach great importance to feelings, and the relationship between the deputy general and the main general is a comrade for many years, and the friendship of life, An Rong will never watch Du Lin die outside the city. What's more, Du Lin is the left vanguard of the Nanpeng Army, if his deputy general really cares about his life, I am afraid that it will not be easy to explain to the commander of the Nanpeng Army. The most important thing is that Du Lin has been defeated, and that person must have guessed that my Great Qi has begun to organize a counterattack, and An Rong only has 8,000 troops, how long can he last? Both horizontally and vertically are going to retreat, and of course he will send troops to rescue Dulin. ”

Qingcheng's analysis was in place, Fan Yun nodded in agreement, but he thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but ask again: "According to what the general said, Lord Hou should have invaded Anrong City at this time, but the last general doesn't seem to be in a hurry to support, I don't know, is there any other arrangement?" ”

Qingcheng gave Fan Yun the feeling that he seemed to have expected everything, and everything was arranged properly, so he asked this question. However, listening to his words, Qingcheng couldn't help but smile and said, "General Fan is in love, how can there be any arrangement." It's just that Du Lin is already afraid, and his deputy general is even more influential, An Rong is only the Eight Thousand Cloud Dragon Army, where will he be Brother Liu's opponent. What's more, Brother Liu is a famous general in the northwest, and he fought against Yunlong, defeated Yunlong with 20,000 soldiers and horses with 8,000 soldiers, and even killed Yunlong Peng's generals. As soon as such a general comes out, how can he miss out? I'm afraid that after the Yunlong enemy sees him, he won't dare to fight. ”

Hearing this, Fan Yun seemed to have an understanding, smiled bitterly, then clenched his fists and arched his hands, and couldn't help but praise: "The general really has a good way to march and make proper arrangements." I'm afraid, this is the reason why you came to attack Xinghe, Hou Ye to seize An Rong, right? ”

Fan Yun's meaning refers to Qingcheng's attack on Xinghe, and the distribution method of Liu Suifeng to seize An Rong is also being planned. Because Liu Suifeng is famous for shaking the cloud dragon and regaining An Rong, he aims to recover the lost territory, not to destroy the enemy and kill the general, so the most important thing is to fight quickly. If it is replaced by Qingcheng, the Yunlong defenders do not know it, and they are afraid that they will stubbornly resist and fight hard.

However, Yunlong, who had already been defeated, was naturally even more afraid when he saw a famous general like Liu Suifeng killed, which was the finishing touch to Daqi's plan to recapture An Rong in one fell swoop. On the other hand, in Xinghe City, Wu Tinggui is a defeated general under Qingcheng, Yan Zhanlie also tasted Qingcheng's strategy, and he will attack Xinghe, and he will take the lead with strange soldiers, the same reason will also make the Yunlong army in Xinghe City afraid before the war, which will naturally damage the combat power.

Fan Yun's idea is naturally good, this is indeed Qingcheng's strategy. However, Qingcheng was not in a hurry to support Liu Suifeng for another reason.

"Brother Liu has helped me many times, and strongly recommended me to fight, it should be intentional to let me fight, I know it, but how can I be domineering and domineering, and stop all the battle achievements into my arms, how can that be done by a friend? An Rong's big victory can be described as nine out of ten, and this battle feat should be the eldest brother's alone. ”

Thinking like this, Qingcheng saw that the time was almost up, and after pondering for a while, he clasped his fists and arched his hands, and said: "General Fan, the Xinghe war is over, just in case, I should also go to An Rong to support, please ask the general for the affairs in the city, and when An Rong takes it back, we will meet again." ”

There are still many people in the defenders of Xinghe City, and the rest of the trivial matters Fan Yun is naturally reasonable, and he is not polite at the moment, he also clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said: "General rest assured, this side will be handed over to the last general." I wish the general all the best, regain the lost territory, and make a name for himself in the west. ”

"General Cheng Fan Ji Yan, I will win. Hurry, I will take two thousand light horsemen to Anrong first, you immediately gather the soldiers, quickly catch up, and gallop to the aid of the Fengcheng army. ”

"Whoa!"

After that, Qingcheng didn't delay any longer, picked up his gun and mounted his horse, and hurried to Anrong with two thousand light horsemen. After Qingcheng left, Brushing Wind also said goodbye to Fan Yun, and quickly gathered the dragoon army and prepared to set off.

Qingcheng galloped non-stop, muttering in his heart. Although the battle of Anrong is nine out of ten, he is also a little worried, in case there is a famous general of Yunlong in the city, and the rear has increased troops to help, his plan is wrong, and the Fengcheng army is forced to fall into a bitter battle, and he does not come to support, it is a good intention, and it will be too late to regret it if it is self-defeating.

However, when he arrived at Anrong City, he was finally relieved. At this time, the banner of the Fengcheng army had been hung at the head of the city, and when they saw Qingcheng coming to help, the soldiers hurriedly opened the city gate to greet them. The willows in the city rode out with the wind, with a happy face, safe and sound, and Qingcheng was relieved.

"The eldest brother is really brave, and he has recaptured An Rong in a few moments, and the younger brother of the True Sect admires it."

Qingcheng stepped forward and praised Liu Suifeng with his fists in his fist, and when the latter heard it, he chuckled and said, "It's not that the general is resourceful and has a good way of using soldiers. Nadurin was frightened by me in Xingyi, and had no intention of fighting, and when he arrived at Anrong, the Yunlong defenders really came to the rescue, and I took advantage of the situation to break through the city gate and led the Fengcheng army to attack the city. Although Nadurin resisted for a while, he saw that he had no chance of winning, so he had to withdraw in disgrace. I didn't do any more deep pursuit after your orders, rested on the spot, and waited for the general to come, haha. ”

Qingcheng's plan was successful, and An Rong was successfully recovered by the Qi army, which can be described as inspiring the army's morale. Liu Suifeng then said: "In this battle, more than 3,000 enemies were killed, and the total casualties were more than 300, of which only more than 50 were killed. Within two days, the virtuous brother conquered three cities, annihilated nearly 30,000 enemies, recovered the lost territory, greatly boosted the morale of the army, and thwarted the momentum of Yunlong's attack, which can be described as the first merit of the Xitui war. I believe that such a record will definitely make the king of Xinjiang very satisfied. By the way, I've sent scouts to find out the enemy in the rear, so let's go into the city and wait. ”

"Okay."

After that, the two of them were about to enter the city. And at this moment, the soldiers of Yifeng City ran to the city gate in a hurry, with an excited look, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee after seeing Liu Suifeng, and said loudly: "Lord Hou, there is a battle report ahead!" Yunlong was defeated and retreated to Huihe, but it was only half an hour, and somehow, Yunlong abandoned the city and retreated to the rear! ”

"What? Abandon the city without a fight? ”
