Chapter 91: Fortunately, it was early
Qinzhou Zhizhi Chengji City Taishou Mansion.
"Father, father...... Oh no, something happened. ”
"Ke'er, how many times have I told you, 'For the way of the general, you should treat the heart first, and Mount Tai should not collapse in front of you.'" Why can't you remember! Murong Chui said with a pulled face.
"The child remembers, please atone for your sins." Murong Ke said.
"What the hell is going on? Makes you so flustered. ”
"Father, I haven't sent someone to report that the Huating camp has been attacked by tens of thousands of Yong troops, and it is already in danger." Murong Ke took out the rescue letter and handed it to Murong Chui and said.
Murong frowned, and after the letter, he opened it; Of course, there is no truth in the letter, and the content is true and false.
First of all, he wrote that he had sent 3,000 elite cavalry (1,000 sword knights and 2,000 elite cavalry) to rescue the baggage team, but was besieged by tens of thousands of troops of the Yong army, and finally the 3,000 elite cavalry only fled back to more than 100 people, and the baggage team was all killed.
Then he reported that the 30,000 troops of the Yongjun army besieged the Huating camp, and led 7,000 soldiers to fight day and night, and the Huating camp was in danger, so that the Qinzhou colleagues (note 1) quickly sent troops to rescue, and if it was too late, it was estimated that the Huating camp would be lost, and he would burp.
After reading this letter, Murong Chui asked Murong Ke unhurriedly, "Ke'er, what do you think about this matter?" ”
"Father, the child thought that he should quickly send troops to rescue and not to ambush, after all, there are only thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and in the face of the siege of the Yongjun army of 30,000 adults can not be supported for too long, Huatingtun has released a large amount of grain and grass ordnance of our army, once it is lost, the loss is huge, and the proposed combat strategy is very feasible, so the battle will be able to break the Yongjun." Murong Ke thought for a while and said his opinion.
Murong Trai said with a little disappointment: "Ke'er, haven't you seen the problem in this rescue letter?" ”
"The child is dull, please teach the father."
"So far, Fu Bu said in the letter, Huating was besieged by 30,000 Yong troops, don't you wonder where these 30,000 Yong troops came from, as far as my father knows, Yongwang Guo Qi has only been in Yongzhou for two or three months, how can he have an army of 30,000 people!"
"What does the father mean that he has not reported the battle situation truthfully? What a bastard. Murong Ke said angrily.
"This is just a speculation for my father, and it is not excluded that the Yongjun army really has an army of 30,000, if it is really an army of 30,000, then it should not only be the men and horses under the command of King Yongwang Guo Qi, but also the western army of the Qi Dynasty;
In fact, it doesn't matter at all if you don't report the truth or not, you just need to know that Huating is in danger now, it's enough. ”
"Father, how should we deal with it now?"
Murong Chui thought for a moment and said, "Ke'er, you are not young, you are already sixteen years old (note 2), you have also married a family, and you have been in the army for more than a year, and you have been by your father's side; This time my father intends to let you stand alone, are you willing? ”
Murong Ke said excitedly: "If the child is willing, please ask the father to give an order." ”
"The 30,000 elite cavalry and 10,000 tribal cavalry deployed in Qinzhou have all been assembled in the camp outside the city." Murong said: "Ben Shuai will give you 9,000 elite cavalry plus 1,000 bearded sword knights, a total of 10,000 horses, Rao Nandao raided the rear of the Yong army, remember that it doesn't matter if Hua Ting is defended or not, the important thing is to drag the Yong army." ”
"The child understands, obey the father's commander." Murong Ke answered.
"Father, what about you?"
"I want to surprise King Yong Guo Qi this time, and make him regret being the enemy of our Xirong Khanate." Murong Chui sneered.
————————
According to Guo Qi's arrangement, the Yongjun army began to evacuate Huating from the south road, although a lot of baggage was captured, but because a lot of horses were also captured this time, the speed of the march on this road was not satisfied; The Yongjun first marched southwest along the rugged mountain road to reach the city of Huangyuan (ruins), and then all the way east to the Huangyang Pass.
Just when it was still more than ten miles away from Wangyang Pass, the beacon tower on the northern mountain suddenly ignited billowing beacon smoke.
Then a probe horse galloped in front of Guo Qi and reported: "My lord, I found a large number of cavalry in the rear of our army, galloping eastward. ”
"How many men are there in the enemy army?"
"At least thirty or forty thousand, and it will arrive in about an hour."
Guo Qi frowned and said, "Damn, it came so quickly, and ordered the army to march at full speed and enter Huangyang Pass." ”
Guo Qi's military order had just been issued, and he happened to see Hu Qiong leading the generals of Huangyang Pass to greet him.
"The situation is urgent, so don't care about these false courtesies." Guo Qi spoke first: "How is the construction of Huangyang Pass now?" ”
"My lord, the walls of the north and south cities of Wangyang Pass, as well as the fortresses on the hillsides on both sides, have been built, and half of the buildings in the city have been built."
"Have you all the armor for the city's defenses?"
"My lord, most of them have arrived, but they haven't been installed yet."
"The order is to immediately transfer Huangyang Pass to a state of combat readiness, and all construction sites will be suspended, and the city will be defended ordnance at the head of the city."
"No! The last general commanded. ”
After entering the city, Guo Qi directly ascended to the west tower of the north city of Huangyang Pass, when Tang Bi led the first and second cavalry palaces of the palace to enter the city for half an hour, Guo Qi saw a black line rolling from afar, and only stopped moving forward until three or four hundred steps outside Huangyang Pass.
At this time, at the head of the city of Huangyang Pass, the soldiers of the Yongjun Army and the people of Wangyang Pass were carrying the defending ordnance such as bed crossbows, catapults, and thunder stones and rolling logs to the city, ready to deal with the siege of the enemy outside the city at any time.
"Drive, drive, drive...... Hoo, hoo, hoo ......" A Xirong general in armor came to the city of Huangyang Pass and said: "The defender of the city is Guo Qi, the king of Qi Yong. ”
"It's the king." Guo Qi said.
"The general of my family wants to talk to you alone when he goes out of the city, don't dare."
"Go back and tell your general, as long as you wait for the army to retreat ten miles, this king will go down to the city to talk to him."
"Ha, ha, ha, ha...... How can King Yong be so cowardly as a mouse, and he is really a big husband. ”
"This king's courage is small, this agitation method does not work for this king, go back and tell your master; If you want to talk about retreating first. ”
"Humph! Leave. ”
"Lord, why are you talking so much nonsense with them! This is within reach of our bed crossbows and catapults, so it is better to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the enemy army and give them a wave. Tang Bi suggested to Guo Qi.
"No, that would expose all our superiority in ordnance." Hu Qiong immediately objected.
"You two don't fight, Hu Qiong, you go to Nancheng to supervise the battle first, if the Xirong army really dares to attack the city, immediately fight him back and break the blood."
"No! The last general commanded. ”
With such a close distance, the two armies are already ready to fly, and a major war is about to break out at any time.
