Chapter 259: Siege
Originally, Zhao Yi sent Tai Shi Ci to Liaodong vassal states to carry out this operation, but after Qin Zhong reported the wheat harvest, Zhao Yi suddenly changed his mind and ordered Murong Fu to replace Tai Shi Ci in time. That's why Tai Shici led more than a thousand soldiers to lure Jiwei happened.
Murong Fu, who was carrying Zhao Yi's warrant, had already taken over the army of officers and troops stationed in Liucheng six hours ago, and since he learned the news of Qiu Li's residence department's invasion of Youzhou, the county guard immediately gathered the state capital's soldiers and horses, fearing that they would be distributed in the county seat and be broken by Qiu Li's residence department.
The 18,000 soldiers in the county were placed in Liucheng, saving Murong Fu the time to mobilize soldiers.
The last time the Qiangqu tribe invaded Youzhou, he and Wen Qin Wenchou led the soldiers to confront the Qiu Liju tribe, at that time Liucheng officials and nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses, the captain wanted to fight to the death with the Qiu Liju tribe, and pulled out the tumor in the north of the Liaodong subject country, but at that time Wen Qin blocked the move. After losing the restraint of Wen Qin, Du Wei wanted to do it, but he lost the strength to do it.
Now three-quarters of the soldiers of Qiu Liju's department have entered Youzhou, and only 5,000 soldiers and some old and weak women and children are left in the tribe. But when the commander led the army to investigate, he found that the original crowded Qiuliju tribe had become a wasteland. At that time, the Lieutenant knew that the Qiu Li Residence Department had left here.
Murong Fu brought the order to send troops, and he also brought the location of the Qiuliju tribe, which was simply great.
Murong Fu did things neatly, and without talking to the county guard, he led the army to leave Liucheng. Looking at Murong Fu's style of acting, Du Wei thought that Murong Fu would definitely act vigorously and resolutely when he started a war, but Du Wei was wrong, Murong Fu's marching speed was not ordinarily slow.
After only thirty miles of advance in three hours, the old lady who was over the age of sixteen walked faster than herself as a soldier. Du Wei really couldn't stand this slow move, and proposed Murong Fu: "General, the important thing for the two armies to fight is to take the lead in controlling the enemy, and now that our troops are marching so slowly, when they reach the Qiuliju tribe, even if the troops do not flee cleanly, their troops must be prepared for the means, and it will be very difficult for our army to attack and kill at that time." ”
In the eyes of the captain, this kind of common sense, even the captain of the squad who commanded more than 100 people should know, not to mention the general Youzhou who followed Zhao Yi's side, now the captain is a little suspicious, whether Murong Fu and Qiu Li's residence department have colluded, otherwise why would there be such a delay.
Murong Fu did not answer the words of the captain, but took out the letter written by Zhao Yi from his arms, and clearly wrote a sentence on it, "The soldiers and horses of the Liaodong vassal state are all under the command of General Murong Fu, and the soldiers of the subordinate state can carry out the order, and there is no need to ask the reason." "The red state seal in the lower left corner, the lieutenant is dizzy.
I heard that Lord Zhou Mu is a young talent, who has defeated strong enemies several times, and uses soldiers like a god, why would such an amazing and brilliant figure give such an important task to Murong Fu?
After the Battle of Guangning, Youzhou a think tank and two tigers will shock Youzhou outside the country, the think tank naturally refers to Zhao Yi, who is strategizing, and the two tiger generals are the fierce generals Dian Wei and Tai Shici. Compared with these three people, Gao Shun also has some prestige in Youzhou.
As for Murong Fu, Du Wei only knew that when he fought against the Qiangqu tribe that day, he was the general of the east gate of Guangning County, but he did not have much merit.
Du Wei admired Zhao Yi's method of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, but he was very dissatisfied with the people sent by Zhao Yi to carry out the order, and secretly said that Murong Fu's style of action was not as good as that girl of Wen Qin.
However, Murong Fu had the seal letter of the Youzhou government in his hand, and even if Du Wei had the courage to disobey the order conveyed by Zhao Yi. sighed in his heart, he wanted to kill a big fight, but it was impossible to look at the current situation.
And the Wuhuan tribe's scattered horses on the periphery had already detected the news early, and quickly rushed back to the tribe across the horses.
Since Qiu Liju entered Youzhou, soldiers have sent over the property plundered by Qiu Liju in Youzhou every day. The food alone was enough for his tribe to eat for two years.
Although there was a smile on his face, he was very disdainful of Qiu Liju's bandit behavior in his heart. And more importantly, such looting of property has made the soldiers of the ministry almost zero casualties, and the disdain of the subordinates from the beginning has now a tendency to slowly accept it.
If it goes on for a long time, the combat effectiveness of the Wuhuan soldiers across the grassland will definitely be greatly weakened, and they will lose their ambition, since they can find food from the people, why do they have to desperately snatch it from the hands of the officials and soldiers.
In this way, the fief that Qiu Liju promised to Badun will also be in vain.
And what makes Badun really feel dangerous is that his stepmother is gradually leaving and cultivating her own power for Lou Ban, and the eldest son of the descendant has a strong charisma in the tribe, and several generals who are good friends with Badun have now switched to the Fade Away camp, so that Bandun does not dare to do anything else except be angry.
Mutiny? Not to mention that Badun doesn't have this strength now, even if he does, he wouldn't dare. Because Qiu Liju is still alive, Qiu Liju, who has been the leader of the Wuhuan tribe for nearly 30 years, has a deterrent power in the hearts of the people that is incomparable to others.
And he felt that Qiu Liju had begun to alienate himself, and for such a major event as the invasion of Youzhou now, Qiu Liju did not bring him with him. Instead, he was given the task of guarding the tribe.
Thinking of Qiu Liju's words when he left the tribe, he felt very funny, he had been waiting here for more than 20 days, and the officials and soldiers had not come at all.
He is now secretly regretting in his heart, when he got the news that the tribe and Goguryeo jointly attacked Youzhou, he should have sent a message to the official army, and heard that Tai Shi Ci, the commander of that county, was a unique archer in ten thousand, and thought to himself that if Tai Shi Ci could shoot Qiu Liju off the horse with one arrow, it would be better.
Just when Bunton was thinking nonsense here, Tanma came in with a panicked face and reported: "General, the big thing is not good! ”
Checkmate? These people used to call me the young chief. He exhaled in his heart, and there was no panic on his face, still lazy: "What happened?" In fact, he wanted to ask if Qiu Liju had an accident, but it was not good to say it directly.
Seeing Badun's calm face, the soldier secretly said in his heart that Badun was worthy of being trained by the leader, and this indifferent bearing was simply portrayed in the same mold as the leader. The soldier also stabilized his breathing: "There are nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers, and they are rushing towards our department!" ”
The lazy expression on his face disappeared immediately, and he exclaimed, "What?!" He didn't expect Qiu Liju's speculation to come true, the official army really came, and there were 20,000 people.
There are only 5,000 soldiers in his tribe, and the rest are some old and weak women and children, who have no combat effectiveness at all, how can they compete with the 20,000 soldiers of the official army.
And there were no fortifications as strong as the walls around the tribe. How to defend against the officers and soldiers is a problem. If the official army is allowed to invade the tribe, it will be a great threat to his own people. Qiu Liju doesn't know how many people he has killed in Youzhou, and now that the officials and soldiers finally have a chance to take revenge, they will naturally make good use of it.
"How far are the officers and soldiers from our department?" He hurriedly asked. These days of comfortable life made Bun forget to take precautions, and the Tanma only moved around the tribe, and did not go deep into the subject country of Liaodong, which is why he is passive today.
"Less than thirty miles."
"Less than thirty miles?" This means that the cavalry of the official army will arrive here in less than half an hour, and the infantry of the official army will also arrive in an hour.
He hurriedly walked out of the tribe, looking at the busy tribe in the tribe, he didn't know how to open his mouth to tell the bad news, this news would definitely bring panic to the tribe, and even cause a riot. But now Qiangqu can't care so much, so he has to say the news loudly, and quickly state the benefits: "Now the official army is less than thirty miles away from us, and it is too late to retreat, and now we have to fight to the death, and we have any hope of survival!" ”
Leaving the camp with these old and weak women and children, I was afraid that I would be robbed and killed by the officials and soldiers if I couldn't walk ten miles. While ordering the soldiers to quickly tell Qiu Liju the news of the tribe, he ordered his subordinates to push the vehicles to the periphery of the tribe and form a circle to resist the attacks of the officials and soldiers.
This battle is not only related to the lives of tens of thousands of people behind him, but also about his own life, and gradually leaving is also a person who can distinguish the main and secondary, in this kind of life and death time, he did not fight for power with Bunton, but let his soldiers temporarily obey Bunton's command.
Now is a critical time, the Wuhuan tribe may be removed from Youzhou if it is not careful, and now only by concentrating power in the hands of one person can the tribe have a chance of winning. And to gradually leave is to gamble his life and death in the hands of Badun.
But what made Badun strange was that the officers and soldiers who were originally expected to arrive at the latest an hour had now passed two hours, and there was no movement in the wilderness ahead. "At this time, if this soldier dares to spread false news, he will definitely be cut by a thousand knives from his subordinates.
The soldier was also very nervous, why hadn't the officers and soldiers arrived yet, could it be that the 20,000 officers and soldiers were passing by? Looking at the resentment in the eyes of the surrounding people, this soldier's heart continued to sink, if the officers and soldiers did not appear again, he would definitely die a miserable death.
After another quarter of an hour, he pressed his hands on the knife, and saw that he was about to open the knife for the soldier who had lied about the military situation.
The soldier was startled, glanced at the front and looked ahead, and saw that there was finally dust in front of him, and a handsome flag was slowly enlarged: "General, look! There was some excitement in his tone.
Seeing the officers and soldiers who were slowly moving from point to point, he swallowed his saliva: "Everyone is ready to fight!" ”
