Chapter 285: Chen Ying's thoughts
After Wei Yan's troops and horses controlled Baqiu City, Wei Yan hurriedly ordered the sentry cavalry to investigate the situation in Luo County and whether the defenders of Luo County had let the Jingzhou army rout into the city.
Baqiu City is not far from Luo County, and Wei Yanbu's sentry cavalry quickly finished inquiring about the situation and reported back: "The defenders of Luo County have learned about the loss of Baqiu City, and the soldiers and horses in the city have begun to be on alert, and the city gate has been closed. The defeated soldiers of Jingzhou were unable to enter the city, and after the defenders of the city threw out some dry food, they let the defeated soldiers bypass the city and go to the direction of Linxiang City. ”
After Wei Yan learned of this, although he was a little disappointed, he could also understand in his heart, after all, it was the county soldiers of Guiyang County who were stationed in Luo County, and these county soldiers would be very vigilant when they came to Changsha County to fight hundreds of miles away from home, as long as the generals who led the army were not fools, he would leave sentry horses near the surrounding cities to investigate the situation, Wei Yan's attack on Baqiu City was not small, and it would be really strange if the defenders of Luo County did not know about such a big movement.
The garrison of Baqiu City is the county soldiers of Changsha County, and the defenders of Luo County are the soldiers of Guiyang County, and the relationship between them is that they can't fight with three poles, and it would be strange if the defenders of Luo County easily let the Baqiu army break into the city, and they can throw down some dry food for them, so that they can continue to retreat to Linxiang City, which is the territory of Changsha County in this area.
When Wei Yan was thinking about this, Yue Fei finally led the main army to rush over, Wei Yan brought Yue Fei into the city, and said: "General, the defenders of Luo County have already known that Baqiu City was broken by our army, and the defenders in the city are very vigilant, not only closing the gate of Luo County, but also not letting the rout army of Baqiu City enter the city, it seems that if we want to capture Luo County, I am afraid it will be very difficult!" ”
After listening to the situation in Luo County, Yue Fei smiled slightly and said, "It's already very difficult for me to be able to capture Baqiu City, why should the general force more?" The defenders of Luo County are just a rabble, where can they compare to the courage of our army, as long as we attack the city with all our might, we will be able to quickly break through Luo County!! ”
When Wei Yan heard this, he also smiled and said, "It's that the last general is a little too light on the enemy, thank you for the general's teaching!" Luo County is difficult to attack, I don't know what the general's good plan is? ”
Yue Fei seemed to be a bamboo in his chest, and said: "The soldiers of Guiyang County who are stationed in Luo County are the soldiers of Guiyang County, they are hundreds of miles away from home to defend the city of Changsha County, how can they be willing in their hearts?" I don't think the defenders in the city will have much will to fight, as long as we attack the city at any cost, the enemy will definitely abandon the city and leave! ”
Yue Fei ordered the sergeant to bring the map, stretched out his hand and pointed at the map, and said: "From here, you can take a small road to the south of Luo County, the defenders of Luo County don't know the news that I have led the army here, this is an opportunity that we can take advantage of." Tomorrow, the general will lead a large army to attack the city, and I will lead 3,000 elite cavalry to detour the trail to the south of Luoxian for an ambush. ”
"The general can make the army attack the city at any cost, and it must give the pressure on the defenders in the city that our army may break the city at any time, and after a day of siege, the general does not need to besiege the city, just retreat ten miles to camp! I expect that the defenders in the city will not be able to withstand such pressure, abandon the city at night, and when the enemy withdraws, I will lead the elite cavalry to kill, and I will definitely defeat the enemy army and take Luo County! ”
Wei Yan pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "What if the enemy army doesn't withdraw at night?" ”
Yue Fei smiled softly and said, "Then the general will continue to desperately attack the city until the defenders in the city can no longer bear the pressure!! ”
Seeing that Yue Fei had already said this, Wei Yan no longer hesitated, and responded in a loud voice: "Don't worry, general, the last general will definitely do his best and will definitely retreat from the enemy army!" ”
"Hahahaha, good! As long as Wen Chang has this determination, why worry about big things!! ”
……
That night, Yue Fei led three thousand elite horsemen to bypass Luo County from the trail and went straight to the southern part of Luo County to ambush, Baqiu has experienced two years of war, and the nearby people did not dare to go out easily at night, Yue Fei's army rushed all the way, and came to the south of Luo County very smoothly, and ambushed into a mountain forest next to the road leading to Linxiang City in Luo County.
Early the next morning, Wei Yan left 1,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Baqiu City, and he personally led the remaining 30,000 troops straight to Luoxian.
Baqiu City is only more than 30 miles away from the county seat of Luoxian, Wei Yan's army marched all the way, and came to the vicinity of Luoxian County before noon, Wei Yan ordered the army to bury the pot and cook for two quarters of an hour, and then led the army to the outside of Luoxian County.
Wei Yan ordered his soldiers and horses to line up outside the city of Luoxian, and shouted loudly: "I am Wei Yan, the vanguard general under the command of Yue Hou, Yue Hou led an army of 150,000 to conquer Jingzhou, and he will come here in a few days!! ”
"Do you want to fight or surrender !!?"
Chen Ying, the general of Luo County, had already led the generals in the army to the vicinity of the city gate tower, and after the generals of Jingzhou heard Wei Yan's shout, they all started to discuss:
"The enemy army alone has 30,000 people in front of this vanguard, it seems that the enemy general's words are probably not a lie, if Yuan Yao personally leads 150,000 troops here, can there still be a way for us to live?"
"Yes, Yue Hou Yuan Yao has always had soldiers like a god, and his attacks are invincible, just with this small city in Luo County, how can he stop Yue Hou's 150,000 army?"
"Humph! Liu Panxiao'er and those county guards didn't dare to step forward to block the edge of the Yuehou army, but they only let the Guiyang soldiers come to garrison Luo County, what is the reason? Do you want my Guiyang boy to shed blood in this Changsha land! ”
"Be cautious, be cautious, don't forget that our family is still in Guiyang County, if we wait for Kaecheng to surrender, I'm afraid that my family will die, don't talk nonsense!"
……
Chen Ying listened to the crowd buzzing there, and his heart became more and more impatient, but what everyone said also made sense, anyway, this Luo County is just the city of Changsha County, and there is no need for him to fight to the death here!!
Moreover, Chen Ying himself also had the intention of preserving his strength and waiting for the price to sell, so he shouted coldly: "Okay, don't say more, even if it is for the lives of our family, we can't open the city and surrender!" Let's try the quality of the enemy army first, anyway, this is just the city of Changsha, if we can't defend it, we can still abandon the city and leave! ”
"What do you think?"
