Chapter Twenty-Nine: Cavalry Encounter
Yu Moyuan came to the prison and rescued Ning Weijin and others. Ning Weijin felt ashamed, he said: "Young Master Yu, it was because I was incompetent, so we lost the city, we are ashamed of the envoy!" ”
Yu Moyuan said: "Ning Taishou doesn't have to blame himself, none of us expected that Fang Linghu would come to invade my Ruizhou territory, and he rushed to meet the battle, and he couldn't blame you for losing the city." ”
Situ Zhan returned to Yinghui City, and Ling Ji asked: "Mr. Situ, I have received a battle report, saying that Fang Linghu broke the sailors of the Ruizhou Army and captured Yukou City, how is the battle situation there now?" ”
Situ Zhan replied: "General, Fang Linghu has been defeated and led the army back to Yuzhou. ”
"How could you be defeated?"
"Yu Moyuan made an anti-guest strategy, Fang Linghu didn't listen to my advice, he had to lead his troops out of the city to attack the enemy, but he was defeated by Yu Moyuan, he wanted to save his strength, so he withdrew to Feizhou."
Ling Ji sneered and said, "This Fang Linghu is still so cunning. ”
Situ Zhan nodded and said, "Although Fang Linghu was defeated, the Ruizhou army also lost 30,000 soldiers, and we can enter Ruizhou at this time." ”
"This is the last chance, we must win, we can't be defeated, if we lose, the Ruizhou army will come to Yinghui City, and we will die without a place to be buried." Ling said.
On the school field in Yinghui City, Ling Ju said to the generals: "Everyone, this time I will lead 100,000 people to attack Ruizhou, and I will not win!" I hope you will do your best to capture the eight counties of Ruizhou with me and behead Yu Shengwei and his son. ”
"The last general is willing to serve the general to the death!" The generals shouted in unison.
Ling Ji ordered: "The general of the chariot cavalry, Tai Shisheng, guards the capital, and the rest of the generals march with me, and we will march west on the fifth watch tomorrow." ”
"No!"
As the sun set, a scout rode into Ruizhou City on a fast horse and went straight to the Assassin's Mansion.
"Envoy, Ling Ju has led an army of 100,000 to kill Ruizhou, and the former army has already left the Canglu Pass." The scout clenched his fists.
"I see, step aside." Yu Shengwei frowned.
Zuo Qiu Hu said: "This Situ Zhan is really a treacherous person! He first used a divisive strategy to let Fang Linghu attack Ruizhou and weaken our forces, and then Ling Ji led a large army to kill. We have reached the time to fight to the death with Ling Ju, if this battle is won, we will be able to get rid of Ling Ju, a powerful minister, if we lose, Ruizhou will really not be able to keep it. ”
Chang Zhangye took a deep breath, revealing a frightened expression, and said, "Mr. Zuoqiu, we can mobilize less than 60,000 troops now, plus the defenders of Xiaojing City, at most there are only 70,000 people, can we win the battle?" ”
"Don't drive, the soldiers are not many but the use of them, those who are good at using soldiers win, those who are not good at using soldiers are defeated, I have sixty percent certainty that I can defeat Ling Zhi." Zuoqiu said.
Yu Moyuan said: "Father, the child is willing to lead the troops to Xiaojing City. ”
"Okay, Moyuan, you quickly go and prepare the grain and grass, and set off before dark." Yu Shengwei said.
"Childe and slow." Zuoqiu Hu stopped Yu Moyuan, "It's too late to rush to Xiaojing City now, we can set up a large camp eighty miles east of the city, wait for work, and meet the army of Ling Ju." ”
"What? Mr. Zuoqiu, do you want Xiaojing City to fall into the hands of Ling Ju? Chang Zhangye asked.
"The city of Sky View is strong and will not be easily breached. And Ling Ju will definitely lead the army to bypass Xiaojing City this time and kill it directly, and eighty miles east of the city is the battlefield of a decisive battle. Zuoqiu said.
Chang Zhangye wanted to speak again, but Yu Shengwei waved his hand and signaled him not to say any more.
"From now on, all affairs must be arranged by Mr. Zuoqiu." Yu Shengwei said to everyone.
"No!"
Ling Yi led a large army to the outside of Xiaojing City, and the Fenwei general Tao Shanling asked: "General, please give the order to attack the city, the last general is willing to take the lead." ”
Ling Ju shook his head and said, "We can't waste time under Xiaojing City like we did the year before last. ”
"So what are we going to do?" Tao Shanling was a little puzzled.
Ling Ju said to Yu Xi: "Yu Xi, I ordered you to lead an army of 10,000 to be stationed outside the west gate of Xiaojing City to contain the Ruizhou army in the city. I led the other 90,000 soldiers to kill directly to Ruizhou City. ”
"Obey the general's orders." Yu Yi clenched his fists and said.
Ling Yu said: "General Yu, I hope you don't disappoint me again this time, you must watch the defenders in the city, if they dare to go out of the city, they will be killed and killed, and no one will be left!" ”
"General, I remember. If I can't stand the defenders of the city, I behead me. Yu Xi knelt down.
"General Yu, get up." After speaking, Ling Ju led the army away.
When Ling Ju was marching, a scout came over and said, "General, Yu Moyuan led an army of 60,000 and has set up a large camp in front. ”
"Okay, let's go and break through their camp and capture Yu Moyuan!" Ling said.
Situ Zhan said: "General, you can't attack now, the Ruizhou army will not come to meet the battle, but will set up a large camp first, they want to wait for work and defeat us." ”
"Mr. Situ, in your opinion, what should we do?" Ling asked.
"General, we are ten miles away from them and set up camp, first press the troops, and then act when the opportunity arises."
Yu Moyuan was discussing the battle with the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army, and Shangguan Huang said: "Ling Ji has also set up a large camp ten miles away, if he doesn't come to attack our big camp now, does he have other plans?" ”
"If the old thief doesn't come to attack our camp, then I will lead my troops to attack their camp." Huangfu Sui said.
Zuoqiu Hu smiled and said: "Ling's army marched all the way, it must be sleepy and tired, he knew that it was difficult for the tired army to win, so he thought of setting up camp to let the soldiers rest. Generals, none of you should lead your army out of the camp, but do a good job of defense, and beware of attacking the camp in the middle of the night. ”
Early the next morning, Huwei General You Zhisheng came to the camp of the Ruizhou Army single-handedly and shouted: "Yu Moyuan, come out and talk to General Ben!" ”
Bian Xianyi was guarding the camp gate, and he hurriedly went to tell Yu Moyuan. Yu Moyuan was about to go out, but Shangguan Huang stopped him and said, "Childe, I'm worried that the thief will cheat, let me go." ”
Huangfu Sui shouted: "It's better for me to go, let me slaughter that You Zhisheng with one sword!" ”
Yu Moyuan said: "You two don't fight anymore, You Zhisheng named me and asked me to go, if I don't go, others will laugh at me for being cowardly and cowardly." ”
"Big brother, it's okay if you go, I'll follow you."
"Second brother, you don't have to follow me, just stay in the camp."
Yu Moyuan came out of the camp gate with a gun, and when he was ten steps away from You Zhisheng, he grabbed the reins.
"You Zhisheng, what did you call me out?" Yu Moyuan asked.
"Young Master Yu, I heard that your marksmanship is exquisite, and the cavalry under your account is also very brave, I really want to learn it, in this way, you and I will each bring five hundred cavalry to fight outside this camp, no matter what the battle situation is, we can't retreat until all our cavalry are killed. What do you think? Do you dare to promise me? You Zhisheng said in a provocative tone.
"Okay, I promise you, when will there be a war?"
"Half an hour later, the war will begin here. Young Master Yu, remember, bring your most elite cavalry. ”
Yu Moyuan returned to the camp and told the generals what You Zhisheng had said.
Huangfu Sui said: "Okay, I will lead five hundred cavalry to fight him, let him know how powerful I am." ”
"Second brother, it's still the same sentence, you can't go, stay in the camp." Yu Mo said from afar.
Shen Chu said: "Childe, I am the chief general of the cavalry, and I am willing to go with Childe." ”
Yu Moyuan said: "Old General Shen, you can't go, you are a general, not a soldier, I just want to use five hundred cavalry to defeat You Zhisheng to strengthen the military prestige of my Ruizhou army." ”
Yu Moyuan had just left the camp with five hundred cavalry when he saw You Zhisheng coming. I saw You Zhisheng standing in front on horseback, and the five hundred cavalry behind him lined up, all wearing heavy armor and holding spears.
After a while, the two armies rushed together, and soldiers were constantly stabbed under their horses, Yu Moyuan stabbed to death seven or eight cavalry of the other party, and met You Zhisheng, and the two of them shook their spirits and fought hard. By the time the two of them had fought for thirty rounds, there were not many cavalry left, and at forty rounds, there were only two of them left on the battlefield.
