Chapter 178: Throwing Yourself into the Net (I)
Chapter 178: Self-Casting in the Net (I)
After a meal of energy replenishment, the frightened Qi Gongshun settled down a little, the enemy cavalry was too elite, and the picture of them passing through his cavalry at high speed still appeared in front of his eyes until now, and it still made his heart palpitate!
"Lan Cheng, where did you say this enemy army came from?"
"It's hard to say!"
Liu Lancheng thought for a while and analyzed: "Theoretically, there are five enemies that may attack us, Dou Jiande in Hebei, Su Shang in Donglai, Meng Haigong in Gaomi, the army of the court, and the armies of other counties in the county!" It is unlikely that the army of the court of the zhongzhΔo court and the armies of other counties in the county will be likely. The current court has many internal problems, and the orders it issued are no longer very useful, and the officials everywhere are disobeying each other, and their own plans are being made, and our Qijia army is not the largest rebel army, and the current court cannot mobilize the army for our Qijia army. Most of the armies in other counties in the county are ordinary people's troops, and they have no cavalry, let alone elite cavalry teams. β
"Then you mean that our Beihai County has now been favored by the three families of Hebei Dou Jiande, Donglai Sushang, and Gaomi Menghai Gong, and they are going to rob it?"
"Yes, all three are possible! The possibility of its East Lai Sushang is the highest, the alliance has developed rapidly recently, and a single Donglai county is no longer enough to support its development speed, they urgently need to expand their territory, and Donglai County is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there are only two places where the alliance can expand, Beihai County and Gaomi County. Gaomi Meng Haigong, his army is not too strong, and the strength of our Qi family army is in the middle of the best, and Meng Haigong also has to guard against Donglai Sushang, he should not come to provoke us now! As for Dou Jiande in Hebei, it is difficult to judge, their strength is strong, and it is normal to invade Beihai County! β
Qi Gongshun pondered for a moment, frowned, and said: "I remember that their main general's banner is a 'come' flag, and I haven't heard of these three generals with surnames, but there is a general in the court who comes to protect children!"
Liu Lancheng looked at the night sky from afar and sighed, "There was no before, it doesn't mean that there is no now!" Now the world is becoming more and more chaotic, and the family gate valve is also betting, and they are all betting in multiple ways! β
Qi Gongshun was silent, looking a little discouraged! The enemy defeated himself and fled, and he lost tens of thousands of troops, but he didn't even know the identity of the enemy! It's such a shame!
"Qi Gong don't need to be discouraged. We lost this time, mainly because the enemy appeared too suddenly, and their unexpected sneak attack took a big advantage. Moreover, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, as long as our Qi family army is still there, we will start all over again! β
"Not bad! Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers! β
Hearing this, Qi Gongshun regained his fighting spirit, nodded and said, "It's me who is a little too pessimistic!" You're right, as long as we are still here, we will start all over again! β
Half an hour later, Qi Gongshun, who had recovered his physical strength, led the Qi family cavalry to set off again, he wanted to rush back to Shouguang City as soon as possible, only when he returned to Shouguang City, they could be considered truly safe!
Twenty miles away is not far, but when fleeing during the day, the war horse is already about to run away, and at this time the speed can no longer be raised, the cavalry of the Qi family can only drive the horse to march normally, and after more than an hour, Qi Gongshun led them to the south gate of Shouguang City!
"It's finally back to Shouguang City!"
Looking at the Wei Wei City Tower in front of him, and looking back at the soldiers behind him, Qi Gongshun sighed very much, this is his starting place, a few days ago, he set off from here with an army of 30,000, what a fighting spirit, high spirits, but now he has failed miserably, and the army of 30,000 is only a remnant of more than 1,000 people left, and how desolate!
Qi Gongshun sighed and waved over a general, "You go and call the door!" β
The general rode forward, waved his torch and shouted: "The soldiers at the head of the city, Duke Qi is back, hurry up and open the city gate!"
After a while, a general appeared at the head of the city, "The eldest prince has an order, and no one is allowed to open the city gate at night without his consent!" The general under the city, please ask Duke Qi to wait, and the last general will go and inform the eldest prince now! β
The general looked back at Qi Gongshun, Qi Gongshun nodded, he had no objection, now the night is dark, and he can't see the situation under the city clearly, and the defenders at the head of the city dare not open the city gate without authorization!
The general immediately replied loudly, "Good! Hurry up and report it! β
A quarter of an hour later, another general appeared at the head of the city, "The general under the city, the last general will be Qijiang, the general on duty tonight, the night is dark, the last general can't see the situation under the city clearly, and ask Qi Gong to take a few steps forward!" β
The general turned around and asked Qi Gongshun, who was a little displeased, but he still took a torch from his own soldiers, drove a few steps, illuminated himself with a torch, and shouted in a deep voice: "Qijiang, you hurry up and clear!"
"Qi Gong, please stop your anger! The villain will go down and open the door for you! β
Soon, the city gate was opened from the city, and a cavalry team of three hundred people ran out quickly from inside, followed by an infantry team of more than a thousand people, they were all fully equipped, and after leaving the city, they were directly divided into two teams, and quickly went around the rear of Qi Gongshun and others on both sides of the guard, looking like they were facing a great enemy!
At this time, Qi Jiang ran over with a cavalry team of fifty people, and similarly, these cavalrymen were also fully equipped, with swords and guns unsheathed, looking ready to charge at any time!
Qi Jiang quickly turned over and dismounted, and bowed to Qi Gongshun, "The villain is late to greet him, and I ask Qi Gong to forgive me!" β
Qi Gongshun was a little displeased, looked at Qijiang coldly, and after a while, he pointed to those soldiers who were like facing a great enemy, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
"Report to Duke Qi, the day before yesterday afternoon forty miles away in the west city, found an unknown cavalry of 5,000 people, and then completely disappeared, the eldest prince was worried about an accident, and specially ordered us to raise our vigilance to prevent the enemy from suddenly stealing the city."
Qi Gongshun's face softened a lot, and suddenly he thought of something again, and he couldn't help but be a little angry, "Since you found that an enemy army has appeared, why didn't Qi Hu notify me?" β
Qi Jiang was shocked, "Duke Qi, the eldest prince has sent three scout messengers in a row that day, didn't Duke Qi see them?" β
Qi Gongshun's face changed greatly, and he didn't say anything for a while, Qi Jiang raised his head and looked around vigilantly, and suggested: "Qi Gong, it's dangerous outside, let's go to the city first!"
Qi Gongshun nodded, and he rode his horse and prepared to walk towards the city.
At this time, Liu Lancheng, who was behind him, suddenly asked out loud: "General Qi, what is the eldest prince busy with?" When Duke Qi returned from the battle, why didn't he see the eldest prince go out of the city to greet him? β
Hearing this, Qi Gongshun stopped the movements in his hand and turned his head to look at Qi Jiang.
Qi Jiang's face changed slightly, and he sighed a little: "There is a problem in the city!"
Is the overlord of the late Sui Dynasty good-looking?
