Chapter 32 Encirclement and Reinforcement

Seeing that after the generals beheaded Ma Cang and Ma Wen, no matter how Meng Liu's military horses scolded, the county town in Beihai was never opened again.

Zhang Taibai proposed: "Set up camp outside the city first, and then order the siege tomorrow!" ”

Meng Liu nodded and said, "Listen to you." ”

20,000 people set up camp outside the city, and Zhang Taibai came to Meng Liu's big tent late that night.

"We have done a good job of beheading two enemy generals in a row, and now that the morale of the enemy army is low, it will be much easier for us to attack the city." Zhang Taibai said with a smile.

"These two dangers are full of dangers, especially that younger brother, it is really difficult to deal with."

"But it turned out that you beheaded him." Zhang Taibai said.

"Tomorrow is the siege, what are you going to do?" Meng Liu asked.

"First take advantage of the low morale of the enemy army to attack for two days, and after two days, the enemy army will come to reinforce the army, and we will divide a part of the troops and horses and the troops from Xianliang to surround the local reinforcements." Zhang Taibai explained.

"Reinforcements?"

"Yes, Beihai County is a commercial county, and Qingzhou's taxes account for a lot of Beihai County, so it is impossible for them not to come to the rescue, and the biggest possibility of rescue is Donglai and Qi County." Zhang Taibai continued.

"I have already told Li Xianliang before I came, let them lead an army to guard in Qi County and Donglai first, as long as they send reinforcements, they will be annihilated in one fell swoop, not only that, but they can also take Qi County and Donglai County!"

"You've figured out every step of the way!" Meng Liu sighed.

On the second day, Meng Liu personally came to the front of the battle to beat the drums, a vigorous siege battle began, Meng Liu's soldiers were not afraid of death, and the siege was extremely brave, and the Beihai soldiers lost two generals in succession, their morale was low, and they almost lost the city gate several times, but once it reached this period, Meng Liu's troops would deliberately stop, and did not attack the city to occupy the city.

"My lord! My lord! The East Gate is occupied! A voice came from outside the hall, and one of the generals ran out covered in blood and with his arms broken.

"Hurry up and take back the East City Gate for me, if you can't get it back, don't come back!" Niu Wen lost his temper and roared angrily, if the 30,000 soldiers and horses can't hold the city, his own life may be gone.

Just when the reports of defeat were frequent and Niu Wen thought that Beihai was lost, news suddenly came that Meng Liu had withdrawn. Niu Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, if this goes on for a maximum of three days, Beihai County will definitely be lost." He Man, the general who was ordered to recapture the East City Gate, said.

"For now, we can only ask for help." Niu Wen slapped the desk, "Immediately ask for help from the two county guards of East Laiqi County, and send messengers at night!" ”

"Yes!"

The siege of the city the next day was still the same, but this time it was not Meng Liu who beat the drums but Zhuang Ran.

"My lord, the south gate of the city has been broken, and our army has suffered heavy casualties!" Another failure.

"Hold it for me for three days! I've already found reinforcements, and they'll be there in three days! "Niu Wen jumped like thunder, 30,000 people defending the city were attacked by 20,000 people, and the city was about to be broken in two days!

"What do those soldiers do to eat, they know how to go in and out of the tile fence all day long, and the long-term peace has made them not even have any combat effectiveness!"

The siege was over on the second day, and Zhuang Ran had many opportunities to occupy the city tower and open the city gate, but they all gave up at the behest of Zhang Taibai.

It was night, the sound of shouting and killing woke up the defenders of the city, there were thousands of people holding siege ladders outside the city to prepare to attack the city, the leader was Meng Liu, the reason why he did not come to attack the city during the day, was willing because Zhang Taibai told him to let him come to harass at night with thousands of soldiers during the day.

Seeing that the garrison had been assembled, Meng Liu waved his hand and led the army to retreat.

The siege on the third day was still fierce, and it was Meng Liu who led the team to attack the city, but the defending troops heard that reinforcements would arrive tomorrow, so they broke out with an extremely strong fighting spirit, and Meng Liu's siege did not last long before he ordered to retreat.

At night, Zhang Taibai, Zhuang Ran, and Meng Liu were discussing in the camp tent.

"Today's siege, I estimate that the opposite side feels that reinforcements are coming, hold the position, if the loss of the attack is too great, we have lost thousands of people in the siege in the past two days." Meng Liu was the first to speak.

"The letter from Xianliang is also here, the reinforcements from Donglai and Qi County will arrive at noon tomorrow, there are about 10,000 people, and Lixian Liang and Wenqian each lead 3,000 people to follow." Zhang Taibai took out today's letter from Xianliang and Wen Qian.

Zhuang Ran proposed: "Otherwise, we will also divide a part of the soldiers and horses, chase after the front and block, and completely annihilate these 10,000 horses in one fell swoop!" ”

"And the siege of the city in the past two days also let me know that the Qingzhou soldiers of the year are long gone, it's a pity!"

"I also agree with Zhuang Ran's proposal, and Zhuang Ran will lead six thousand to take advantage of the night to go out of the camp." Meng Liu nodded

"Okay, then I'll leave now." Zhuang Ran got up and walked out of the tent.

A team of about 6,000 people, led by Zhuang Ran, took advantage of the night to leave the camp.

After the team that came to the rescue of Donglai and Qi County, they watched the sky darken and found a plain area to settle down.

"How far is this from the North Sea?" The general who came to the rescue of Donglai was named Di Wen, who was the nephew of Su Hong, the nephew of Su Hong, who was going to rescue Di Wen this time, and did something wrong a few days ago in order to make his uncle happy, and he came to the task of rescuing Beihai.

"Tomorrow will be there." Sun Liang replied.

"This Niu Wen has no one in his eyes on weekdays, and he still has to rely on us in the end, I must humiliate him when I get there, so as to repay him for the bullying he did a few years ago!" Diwen is vicious.

Sun Liang thought about the incident that shocked Qingzhou a few years ago, this Di Wen went to Beihai to play, took a group of fox friends and dog friends in the army, went to the hook fence to be happy, and the general with him happened to be Niu Wen valued and wanted to promote, that Niu Wen didn't say a word and directly led the troops into the hook fence, tied Di Wen and the general, Di Wen was beaten and the flesh was blurred, and he lay on the bed for more than half a year, this matter has been kept in Di Wen's heart.

Sun Liang didn't speak, and walked into the camp tent to rest, Di Wen felt bored and also entered the camp to rest.

Arrived before Xianliang and Wen Qian, and everyone wore yellow turbans on their heads, in case they recognized the wrong person at that time.

The two led the troops to wait for a while, and were about to take advantage of the unpreparedness to attack the camp directly, but they happened to see Zhuang Ran leading the team to arrive.

"The Heavenly Master asked me to come and help the two of you."

"Alright, let's go now!"

Zhuang Ran took out a yellow turban and held it above his head, and everyone who followed behind took out a yellow turban and tied it on his head.

Li Xianliang slowly drew his knife and rode his horse to the front, "Rush and kill!" Not a single one to stay! ”

Six thousand people rushed towards the enemy camp, but Di Wen was still asleep, and was woken up by the shouts of killing outside. I saw a soldier rushing in and shouting: "It's not good, general, the enemy army is attacking the camp at night and retreat quickly!" ”

Di Wen was so shocked that he didn't even have time to change his armor before he left the camp under the cover of everyone, and Sun Liang was leading his soldiers to resist.

Di Wen took advantage of the gap to escape from the camp, and just when he thought he had escaped, he heard an angry shout: "Take your life!" ”

Di Wen looked for the voice, there were thousands of soldiers and horses, the leader of the man opened his bow and arrows, and an arrow shot out and pierced, and Di Wen was killed instantly!

Zhuang Ran led the troops into the camp tent, and saw Wen Qian fighting fiercely with a person, and that person was obviously not left behind, Zhuang Ran slapped his horse and rushed to a knife to sweep by, Sun Liang against one person was already the limit, and now there was another person, so he had to retreat.

But how could Wen Qian and Zhuang Ran let him go, Zhuang Ran raised his sword and killed Sun Liang when Sun Liang was defeated and retreated.

Zhuang Ran picked up Sun Liang's corpse and shouted: "The enemy will show the head of the owl to the public, and those who surrender will not be killed!" ”

When the rest of the people saw that the generals had been killed, they all laid down their arms and surrendered.

"In this battle, our army has won a great victory! Kill 8,000 enemy troops and take 2,000 prisoners! No more than a thousand were killed or wounded. Wen Qian smiled.

"The Great Heavenly Master said, let you hurry back and take Donglai and Qi County in one fell swoop." Zhuang Ran said.

Li Xianliang and Wen Qian each led the team away, and Zhuang Ran also led the team back to the camp.

The next day, Meng Liu did not attack the city, but asked people to copy hundreds of copies of the battle report of the previous night and shoot them into the city with bows and arrows. Take Zhang Taibai's words as the siege of the city and the attack of the heart as the top!
