Chapter 623: Timely Reinforcements
Oh?
Liu Yi and Bei Yan were both surprised: "Shizi, come and listen." ”
Gongsun Kang said: "On the way to Linzi, I saw that in the counties behind Linzi, there are many people. We can go and get them. Put armor on them and let them go to the siege.... ”
"Huh? This is the way that the prince came up with... Liu Yi was speechless for a while.
Even the elite soldiers can't capture Linzi City, how can the strong men who were temporarily captured be able to capture it?
Bei Yan burst into laughter and said, "Shizi, how could those people be willing to attack the city? ”
Gongsun Kang sneered: "Unwilling? Then kill! One is unwilling, kill one, ten unwilling, kill ten! Kill until they want to! When the city is attacked, the archers are mobilized to line up behind, and those who dare to retreat will be destroyed on the spot.... ”
"Besides, the real purpose of letting the people attack the city is not to conquer Linzi. Think about it, two generals, we have 60,000 troops, and the enemy knows it. If we attack the city for two days in a row, we will suffer forty or fifty thousand casualties. Then we retreated eastward. So what will the enemy do? Will they attack me for the sake of merit, for the sake of catching me? If that's the case, then can't we wipe them out of the city? When the time comes, it will be easy to capture Linzi. ”
"The son of the world is a good plan!" Liu Yi and Bei Yan were pleasantly surprised.
Bei Yan clenched his fists and said: "The last general will go to transfer troops and capture the people of several counties in the east." ”
"Go ahead."
Gongsun Kang waved his hand and walked away quickly.
"The last general will also go." Liu Yi also stood up and said.
"General Liu, you don't have to go. In order to prevent the enemy from finding out the truth about our army. Heavy forces must be mobilized and deployed to the south. Set up checkpoints along the road, no one is allowed to pass, not even a fly can fly through. ”
"Yes..."
Liu Yi saw the hope of victory and was very excited.
Gongsun Kang couldn't bear to smile and said: "Okay, I want to see this time, Fan Lihua and Mu Guiying, what else do they have to do?!" ”
..................
Two days later.
Gongsun Kang prepared 40,000 strong men and asked them to wear the armor of the Liaodong Army to attack Linzi City. The strong men who were arrested were unwilling. But there is no way, if you don't move forward, you have to die!
In order to survive, they had to run to the city. But none of the people could climb up to the tower. Every time he crossed the moat, he was shot by the defenders on the tower.
In such a battle, the casualties are enormous.
In just one day....
The 40,000 strong men all died tragically outside Linzi City. Standing at the head of the city and looking out, it was full of corpses. Mountains of blood. It truly presents the scene of purgatory on earth.
Night.
Gongsun Kang asked Liu Yi, the general under his command, to lead 40,000 elites to ambush in a dangerous place, ready to ambush the enemy.
He led more than 10,000 soldiers, disguised as a defeated army, and withdrew to the east.
..............
As Gongsun Du expected. Some generals in Linzi City, seeing the mountains of corpses outside Linzi City, and seeing Gongsun Kang evacuating, naturally guessed that Gongsun Kang's army was exhausted, and most of them were demoralized, so they fled overnight.
All the generals were unwilling to let go of this opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
Thereupon.
They led 10,000 soldiers out of the city in pursuit.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Whoosh...
As soon as he left the city, he was ambushed by Liu Yi.
Halfway through the battle, Wang Huai, the Shadow Banner, came to report: "The generals have been fooled, and Gongsun Kang has captured the people of several counties east of Linzi and asked them to attack the city. The corpses we saw were... ”
"Generals, quickly withdraw to Linzi, don't lose Linzi City because of a small loss."
After Wang Huai finished speaking, several generals were furious.
"Why do you say it now?"
"It's a big deal to hurt us..."
"What do you Shadows eat?!"
.............
The generals all blamed Wang Huai, and then ordered a breakthrough to the south. Prepare to return to Linzi.
"Kill... Don't let the enemy go. Liu Yi personally led 20,000 foot soldiers to surround him from the south and besieged the 10,000 Qingzhou troops in a wheat field.
Knowing that they couldn't return to Linzi, the generals no longer had illusions: "Brothers, fight with the enemy..." ”
"Kill..."
The soldiers and horses of both sides then launched a life-and-death battle.
Liu Yi rushed to kill for a while, ran to a hillside, and checked the entire battlefield. found that the 10,000 Qingzhou troops had been surrounded, and they were proud and very happy.
"This time the enemy can't run. Immortals can't be saved! ”
Liu Yi said to the few generals beside him: "Let's go and give the order, all the troops will gather around and annihilate the enemy as soon as possible." Then send someone to tell the prince that he can bypass the battlefield and take Linzi directly. ”
"No."
Several generals rode away.
Liu Yi is also ready to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy in person.
But...
At this moment, a group of light cavalry scouts came to Liu Yi and said eagerly: "General Yu, the prince was ambushed by the enemy twenty taels away, and now he is fighting fiercely with the enemy, please send reinforcements quickly to rescue the prince." ”
"What?"
Liu Yi thought he had misheard. The identity of the scouts is also suspected. He held the torch and looked at the scouts, and found that they were all Gongsun Kang's personal guards. One of them is the Commander. and no longer doubted. But I couldn't believe it: "Impossible! The troops of Linzi City are all here, how could they go to the east.... ”
Halfway through speaking, Liu Yi suddenly reacted: "Could it be Fan Lihua and Mu Guiying?" ”
"The general is right, it was Mu Guiying who came back to help. He lay in ambush on the official road to the east, surrounded the prince, and watched... It's about to be done. General, send your troops quickly. ”
The scouts said anxiously.
"Okay, I'll send troops now." Liu Yi glanced at all parts of the battlefield, and said hurriedly: "But... Our soldiers and the enemy's soldiers, already in a melee. How do you get it before you decide the winner? ”
"The prince is desperate for reinforcements. The prince said that within an hour, there will be no reinforcements, and the whole army will be wiped out.... A scout said.
"What can I do..."
Liu Yi was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
On the battlefield, the two armies faced each other, with 40,000 against 10,000, which was a sure victory. It only takes an hour or two to win. But if the withdrawal was ordered, the 10,000 men could also wipe out 40,000. This is a very common thing.
Liu Yi didn't dare to take such a big mistake.
He rode to a corner, gathered two or three thousand soldiers, and said to the scouts, "I can only send three thousand troops to help." ”
Three thousand?
The scouts didn't know what to say. Mu Guiying's ambush soldiers numbered at least tens of thousands. The water of Gongsun Kangwei is impassable. Can a mere 3,000 people be able to break the siege?
Liu Yi gritted his teeth and said: "I will go in person, even if I fight hard, I will save the son." ”
"The general is gone, so what about the battle here?" The lead scout asked.
"There's no need to worry about fighting here." Liu Yi turned over and got on his horse, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, gallop to help the world!" ”
"Let's go..."
Several scouts and the three thousand soldiers followed Liu Yi and ran towards twenty miles away.
