Chapter 208: Jizhou Reinforcements
Nanlou doesn't know how Qiu Liju will deal with the situation in Youzhou at this time, the conditions of Qiu Liju's residence are similar to those of Nanlou, if Qiu Liju seizes this opportunity to attack Liaodong's vassal country. It is not yet known whether the two official armies of Liaodong and Yuyang County can stop the army of Qiu Li's residence.
Nanlou secretly shook his head and sighed: "Bo Lai is too radical this time, if you are a little careless, I am afraid that Youzhou will be divided by the surrounding Yi clans." But now that things have evolved to such a point, there is no way to make it difficult, and he can't let Zhao Yi release the Qiangqu from Guangning County at this time. If the Qiangqu is released from the county seat of Guangning, the 50,000 soldiers of the Xiongnu will follow Zhao Yi and start a war, and the officers and soldiers of Zhao Yi will be the opponent of the Xiongnu soldiers.
Now we can only wait to see who can support the official army and the Qiangqu department. However, I have to say that Zhao Yi's strategy is very correct.
On that day, Nanlou learned that the 50,000 troops of the Qiangqu Department had invaded Daijun, and he couldn't think of any way at all, so he could only send Lou Man and Wen Qin to lead 20,000 soldiers to support Zhao Yi, thinking that the Wuhuan soldiers would suffer heavy losses in this battle. But he didn't expect Zhao Yi to come up with this empty city plan, which made the 50,000 iron cavalry of the Qiangqu Department lose their biggest advantage, which really made Nanlou very admired.
Because of his love for Zhao Yi and the happiness of his beloved daughter, Nanlou naturally would not let the Yi people invade Youzhou. "Qiu Liju is good at judging the situation, and there is such a situation in Youzhou at this time, I am afraid that it is exactly what Qiu Liju wants. Perhaps Qiu Liju was waiting for the opportunity, waiting until the official army and the Xiongnu soldiers under the Qiangqu Department were almost consumed, and then attacked the subject state of Liaodong. Nanlou said what he was worried about, Qiu Liju and Zhao Yi have a life-and-death enmity, and they will definitely not think about Zhao Yi like this, they will definitely fall into the well and stab Zhao Yi at a critical moment, "If the soldiers are drawn from our department, they will be stationed in the north of the Qiu Liju tribe, and they will definitely be able to make Qiu Liju throw a mouse." ”
If Nanlou stationed the soldiers of Qiu Liju to the north, this is clearly telling Qiu Liju that if there is any change in the soldiers of Qiu Liju, this Wuhuan soldier will capture Qiu Liju's lair.
However, as soon as this idea arose, it was denied by Nanlou, if you want to deter Qiu Li's residence department, you will have to dispatch 20,000 soldiers, if the troops are too small, I am afraid that Qiu Liju will first destroy the army of Nanlou's deterrence. However, if too many soldiers are transferred, if there is an abnormal movement between Kebineng and Suli, the department of the difficult building will not be able to deal with it.
Nanlou walked back and forth in the tent for a few steps, and finally ordered the soldiers to take pen and ink, and after writing down the two movements of the two parts of the situation he was worried about and Ke Bineng, he ordered his soldiers to quickly send this letter to Zhao Yi in Guangning County. Even if it can't stop the actions of Qiu Li's residence department, it is necessary to make the officials and troops on guard, as long as the Liaodong vassal state and the Yuyang official army can support one more day, Zhao Yi's chances of victory will be one point greater.
Nanlou's eyes flashed as if he had thought of something, and then he wrote a letter, ordering the soldiers to send this letter to Batu's hands quickly, the general content of the letter, the generals in the camp tent could roughly guess, that is, to let Batu send soldiers to support Zhao Yi.
Batu now has more than 10,000 Wuhuan soldiers in his hands, and if Zhao Yi's official army can get the support of 10,000 soldiers, the probability of defeating the Xiongnu soldiers will naturally increase greatly.
While the two heralds of the Nanlou Department were running wildly in Shanggu County, a major incident occurred in the official army camp outside Quang Ninh City. The soldiers of Zhuo County just came to the news that the 80,000 soldiers of Jizhou led by Zhu Jun have now come to Zhuo County, and the county guard Qin Zhong is entertaining.
This news made Zhao Yi and the others settle down in their hearts, and with the 80,000 soldiers in Jizhou, Zhao Yi's heart was more stable.
Looking at the news from the various counties on the table, Zhao Yi's face was full of smiles: "Since Lord Zhu has led the official army of Jizhou to come, I don't have to worry about it anymore." "The table is full of news from the Yi tribe from some county guards, and the matter in Guangning County seems to have been put on wings, and it has been wearing in Youzhou in less than five days. Not only Kebineng and Suli's department, but also the Yi tribes bordering Youzhou have all received the news, so as to take advantage of the situation in Youzhou at this time to get some advantages.
Now that the Jizhou army is coming, Zhao Yi and Tai Shici and others don't have to worry about the Yi tribe attacking, Zhao Yi has a smile on his face, and he rewards the herald soldiers and Gongsun Du.
Gongsun Du was very good at talking, and did not mention his own merits at all, but said that the reason why Zhu Jun, the state pastor, agreed to send troops had nothing to do with him, all because of the friendship with Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi was very useful by these words, his eyes were full of smiles and he stared at the Hun soldiers walking back and forth on the wall of Guangning County, and snorted coldly in his heart, With the support of Jizhou soldiers and horses, I want to see how you fight with me.
Zhao Yi's eyes turned, ordered the soldiers to take pen and ink, and wrote a letter to Zhu Jun, in addition to expressing his gratitude to Zhu Jun for sending troops, he also asked Zhu Jun to quickly scatter the 80,000 soldiers in his department to his designated place.
After doing these things, Zhao Yi inspected the camp of the official army, and when he walked to the camp of Tai Shici's department, he found that the soldiers of the department were practicing archery, and the target was full of arrows.
Seeing Zhao Yi coming here, Tai Shici waved his hand to ask the soldiers to stop training, and he also bowed down and stood and saluted Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi glanced at the archery skills of these dozen soldiers, nodded secretly in his heart, and asked in his mouth, "General, these marksmen were selected by you?" ”
"Exactly." Tai Shi Ci replied that Tai Shi Ci selected some soldiers with good archery skills to train them individually, which would be of great use in the future.
Although they surrounded the Hun soldiers in the past few days, they did not attack, and the anger of the soldiers of Tai Shi Ci's department had to vent on the target.
Zhao Yi walked to the target, raised his hand and gently flicked the feathers on the arrow, turned his head and said: "These soldiers have good archery skills, but the general should not forget that it is not the immobile target that fights with us, but the living person." ”
Zhao Yi's meaning is too Shi Ci understands that although there is a difference between shooting dead creatures and living creatures, the requirements for shooters are different from heaven and earth. "Your Excellency is right, but there is no war at this time, and our soldiers have no living creatures for us to practice except for practicing targets." Tai Shi Ci smiled bitterly.
Zhao Yi shook his head and pointed to the Hun soldiers walking back and forth in Guangning County: "Although this official did not agree to your siege, he did not say that he would not let you shoot the Hun soldiers, at this moment there are 50,000 Hun soldiers in Guangning County, which can be practiced by your department, and whether you can shoot the enemy depends on your ability." ”
This method of releasing cold arrows is despicable, but it is the most effective. Shoot a Hun soldier and his own officers and soldiers will have one less enemy, so accumulate a small victory into a big victory, and can train the soldiers in archery, why not do it.
Tai Shi Ci and those shooters' eyes lit up, and as soon as the thoughts in their hearts opened, they suddenly felt enlightened. Carrying the quiver, he ran out excitedly.
Zhao Yi walked only ten steps before he heard the screams coming from the mouth of the Xiongnu soldiers on the city wall. Zhao Yi saw that this move was effective, and ordered all the soldiers in his command to follow suit.
It's a hunt, but the prey isn't wild animals roaming the jungle, it's living people. The screams of the Hun soldiers did not stop this morning.
Tai Shici and Wen Qin shot the most Hun soldiers, and there were as many as 100 Hun soldiers who died under the arrows of the two this morning, which made these archers cry out for joy.
The Hun soldiers on the city gate saw that the cold arrow was getting worse, and hurriedly reported the matter to Qiangqu: "Chief, the officers and soldiers under the city have released cold arrows, and hundreds of our soldiers have died. ”
Qiang Qu, who was depressed when he heard this, was furious, flipped the table to the ground, and cursed in his mouth: "Despicable! Walking back and forth in the hall, I gasped violently a few times before I pressed this fire in my heart to the bottom of my heart.
"The officers and soldiers are too deceitful!" A general slapped the table and stood up, "Chief, the last general is willing to personally lead the soldiers to break through the encirclement of the official army!" ”
Although the envoys sent by Qiangqu did not return, and there was no news from the surrounding area, Qiangqu has not given up breaking through the encirclement of the official army. There were many casualties among the soldiers of the department, which made Qiangqu feel distressed.
Now when he heard the words of this general, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he just wanted to agree, but he thought that his department had suffered a fiasco. His face changed several times, and finally he sighed and shook his head: "Our army must no longer act recklessly now, the officers and soldiers have seized the weakness of our soldiers, and if our army attacks again, it will definitely be defeated by the officers and soldiers." ”
Although Qiangqu hated Zhao Yi to the core, he also admired Zhao Yi very much, Zhao Yi surrounded the Qiangqu department in the city, so that the cavalry of the Qiangqu department could not set up a position, and Zhao Yi's officers and soldiers were wearing heavy armor and holding spears in a semicircle shape to surround themselves under the city. The cavalry of Qiangqu's department could not break the formation at all, which made Qiangqu quite distressed, every time he thought of this, Qiangqu would miss the dead strategist, and said that if Mr. was still there, he would be able to break the official and military formation.
All the things that can be eaten in Quang Ninh City basically go into the stomachs of soldiers and war horses, and more and more soldiers slaughter war horses, and the soldiers under them report that the number of war horses slaughtered at this time has reached as many as 3,000.
These war horses have been trained by the soldiers of the Qiangqu Department for a long time, and they should have been killed on the battlefield with the cavalry, but they died at the hands of their own masters, which is really a pity.
But Qiangqu has no way, the war horse can be raised again, if his 50,000 troops starve to death, how many years will it take for him to gather 50,000 soldiers.
Qiangqu had no good plan for the behavior of the officers and soldiers in releasing cold arrows, so he could only order the soldiers to be careful when patrolling the city walls. During the day, Qiangqu spent his time in misery, but at night there was good news.
The envoy of the Xianbei tribe finally entered the city safely, which made Qiangqu who came back from the city tour excited, and when he entered the mansion gate, his steps paused slightly, and he had ambivalence in his heart, hoping that the messenger would bring good news, but he was afraid that the messenger would tell him bad news. This kind of psychology of suffering from gains and losses appeared in Qiang Qu for the second time, the first time was when he announced that he would be alone with the heir, and Qiang Qu was excited and a little scared at that time.
After a pause, Qiang Qu exhaled deeply, and finally walked in. Glancing at the feathered arrow stuck in the back of the messenger, Qiang Qu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
