Chapter 368: The Battle of Pucheng (1)

At this time, the Xianjun army continued to chant the humiliating words of "Thunder and fart, not a sound, the monarch's father, and the stench will be left for 10,000 years", but soon in exchange for the response of the rebels, more than 20 boulders pierced the night sky and fell from the sky, immediately smashed a piece of soldiers, and suddenly wailed everywhere.

"Blow the trumpet and order the battalions to hide immediately."

Baili Yan (i.e. Baili Yan) gave an order, the city head sounded, the city head and the battalions under the city quickly dispersed, concealed and concealed, evacuated, the whole army was orderly and not chaotic at all, Luo Songting saw it in his eyes, and said to Jiang Qian in private:

"Young master, Wei Xian's future is immeasurable and unstoppable, he can only be his friend in the future, and he must not be an enemy."

Jiang Qian disagreed:

"He is now my father-in-law's son-in-law, my son-in-law's brother-in-law, how can he be an enemy."

"The world is unpredictable, the young master really thinks that Wei Xian will be willing to be subservient to others in the future?"

Jiang Qian's heart was stunned and hurriedly said:

"Does he still want to oppose King Xian?"

Luo Songting said meaningfully:

"What Wei Xian did was what the people wanted, but he was not allowed to be powerful and noble, even if King Xian sheltered him, after the death of King Xian, the prince ascended the throne, and a group of new ministers around the prince could not tolerate him, and how could the Jin Kingdom tolerate him."

"Mr. Luo, this is child's play, isn't it?" Jiang Qian was skeptical, it was really hard to believe that Bailiyan could rebel against King Xian.

"Well, let's wait and see." Luo Songting sighed for a long time, and his deep gaze fell on Bai Liyan's back again at this moment, the bane that had been planted for a long time had revealed his little-known side at this time.

……

On the night of the same day, the rebels launched the most fierce attack on the south of the city with stone artillery carts and bed crossbows, not only transferred all the stone artillery carts from the west gate and the east gate to the south gate, but also rushed to work day and night in the following days, successively manufactured more than 50 stone artillery carts, totaling more than 1560 stone artillery carts, launched a fierce attack on the Changnan Gate, and once destroyed the head of the south gate, the corner tower, and the enemy tower.

At the same time, the Jin army's 80,000 men captured Pucheng without much effort, and as expected, they did not move and waited to see the development of the Guangxin war situation.

On the night of the second day after the Jin army captured Pucheng, on the sea north of Pucheng, a fleet sailed from east to west to reach the waters of Pucheng, and was intercepted by the Jin warships.

"General Qiyu, just intercepted the Guangxin fleet from the sea, and the person who came claimed to be the public manager of Guangxin was ordered to come to the labor army." The lieutenant officer said quickly.

When Ji Guang heard the news, Guangxin Gong sent someone to come to Lao Jun and immediately laughed:

"Hehaha...... Jiang Min Xiao'er, at this time, still knew that he came to ask for General Ben. Tell me the order, and the future will bring it to me. ”

"No!"

Ji Guang only thought that Guangxin was besieged by the rebels, and it was in danger, so he came to ask him to send troops to help Guangxin in the name of the labor army.

After a while, a man of twenty-seven or eighteen, a coarse cloth and blue coat, came to the Pucheng Governance Office with the officers of the Jin Army.

"Yue Pan, the manager of the Lower Guangxin Mansion, has seen the Jin army conquering the general of the Great North."

Ji Guang had already restrained his arrogant look at this time, and said in a deep voice with an iron face:

"Steward Yue, what are you doing here?"

"On the orders of my master, I am here to work hard."

"Yes, that's good."

"Thanks to the general's thoughts, the master is very good." Pan Yue's answer was like a stream, neither humble nor arrogant, without fear.

"Oh, yes. General Ben heard that the rebels were besieging the city urgently, and Guangxin City would not be able to hold on for a few days. ”

"Back to the general, Guangxin can still support it for half a year, and there is no need for the general to worry."

As soon as Yue Pan said this, Ji Guang couldn't help but mock:

"Hehaha...... Xianguo is the state of my Jin country, if Guangxin Gong is in trouble, how can this general sit idly by. Why did Steward Yue pretend to be the general of the Xuanxu period for Guangxin Gong, if it weren't for the fact that Guangxin was about to lose, how could he Jiang Min send someone to kill the army from the north gate. ”

Yue Pan's face was straight, and he said confidently:

"The general's words are wrong, I believe that it is a strong city in the world, hundreds of thousands of people, and how can a few rebels help me. My master read the expedition of the general's teacher, in order to repair the alliance between our two countries, he specially ordered Yue to come to the labor army, if the general is only to humiliate our country, forgive Yue and leave! ”

When the words fell, Yue Pan immediately brushed his sleeves away and left without looking back. After he left, Ji Guang secretly wondered in his heart:

"Can Guangxin really keep it for half a year? Or is Jiang Min Xiao'er playing tricks. ”

Thinking of this, Ji Guang asked the officer:

"How is the war in Guangxin?"

"General Qiqi, according to the report from the scouts, the black turban thieves are besieging the city very urgently, and the casualties are less than forty or fifty thousand people. In the end, the general thought that what Yue Pan said was not enough to believe. ”

"So much, it seems that Jiang Min Xiao'er really didn't have good intentions, and wanted to use a small favor to order our army to send troops to help him relieve the siege, wishful thinking."

"What the general said is extremely true, it must be that Guangxin Gong saw that our army was strong, so he used the method of agitation, but in fact it harbored evil intentions."

"Well, that's right. Ordered the scout camp to probe again. ”

"No!"

According to the information obtained by the Jin army scouts, the black turban rebels who besieged Guangxin for more than half a month were killed or wounded by 40,000 or 50,000 people, and Guangxin City could not hold out for long.

Now Yue Pan not only did not ask for help, but also came to the labor army with full confidence, boasting that he could hold Guangxin for half a year, all kinds of signs are diametrically opposed to the information obtained by the Jin army, of course, the Jin army will not believe the words of the Xianguo people, and it is precisely because they do not believe it that they will inspire the Jin army to stick to Pucheng and wait for the rebels to capture Guangxin.

That night, after Yue Pan left 50,000 stones of grain and grass, he quickly left Pucheng by boat and went by sea, and arrived at the north of Guangxin Port during the day of the next day, preparing for the driver to enter the city.

At the same time, 20,000 people led by Guan Du, the commander of the Black Turban Army, attacked the Guanling Ferry on the night of the third day after the Jin army captured Pucheng, and captured more than 50 large warships that the Black Turban Army coveted.

"What, the ferry is lost!"

"Report to the general, the rebels suddenly attacked, and our army was caught off guard and was routed by the rebels." The Governor of the Right said quickly.

"You know how many thieves there are." Ji Guang asked hurriedly.

"More than 10,000 people."

"Only more than 10,000 people defeated you and the other 8,000 people, are they all rice buckets!"

Ji Guang was originally from the navy, and he knew very well that even if the sailors docked at the port, they would not get off the ship, not to mention that it was wartime.

"General Hui, the people who attacked the warship were all Xianguo people in the rebel army, who were very good at water, and they latherly touched the warship in the water and suddenly launched an attack, and our army was caught off guard by the warship."

"Waste, all waste! The general ordered that 10,000 warships and 10,000 infantry troops should be transferred immediately, and the Guanling Ferry must be recaptured tomorrow, and the violators will be severely punished. ”

"No."

Ji Guangfen from the land and water to attack the black turban army Guandu department, the navy 10,000 took advantage of the night to kill into the port, unexpectedly the rebel Guan Du sealed the port with oil, burned the Jin warship, the Jin army was unexpected, resulting in the warship on fire one after another, at this time the Jin army attacked the Guanling ferry by land was attacked by the main force of the Guandu department, the Jin army was fierce, and the two sides fought fiercely until dawn without winning or losing.

When the fierce battle reached Yin, the sky was slightly bright, and twenty miles southeast of Pucheng, it was found that the Black Turban Army of 80,000 horses was advancing towards Pucheng at a rapid pace.

"Report, report to the general, twenty miles southeast of Pucheng found a large number of rebels, the number of tens of thousands."

The scout said quickly, and Hi Guang disdained when he heard the news:

"What, tens of thousands of people dare to come and attack our army, it's a joke!" Ji Guang disagreed, turned around and asked the officer: "How is the battle situation at Guanling Ferry, why has it not been taken so far?" ”

"General Qiyu, the navy army was burned by thieves, suffered great losses, and half of them drowned. General Cao's headquarters was blocked by the black turban thieves again, and was in a bitter battle, so he asked the general to send reinforcements quickly. ”

"Bastard, who ordered the naval warships to enter the port and dock together, I don't know if this is a taboo for soldiers."

"Back to the general, the thieves set the river on fire, causing the warship to flee in a hurry."

"Nonsense!" Ji Guang scoffed: "Shui Yan can catch fire!" ”

"General, it is very likely that the fat water, the black turban thief used this thing to seal the river when attacking the Yongxing River, in order to prevent the landing of the Xianjun Water Division."

"If there are thieves, then why don't our army have them?"

"This ...... The Xian army had seized this item, but the guard was very tight, and General Wei Han and Her Royal Highness the Princess had never succeeded in it, so our army still does not know how to obtain this item. ”

"Rice buckets, all rice buckets!" Ji Guang scolded again and again.

When there are few scouts, there are scouts to report:

"Report to the general, the rebels are less than twelve miles away, and the number is very large, about seventy or eighty thousand."

"Seventy or eighty thousand!" Ji Guang was shocked, thinking that this was looking for death, but he didn't know that his Jin army was powerful: "Come on, pass on the general's order, and order 50,000 troops to go out of the city to meet the battle." ”

"General, General Cao and the navy still don't know the victory, our army is facing the enemy head-on at this time, if there is a mistake on the flank, the consequences are unimaginable, please ask the general three or four." The generals said.

"Hmph, what are the 80,000 rabble afraid of, wait for General Ben to go and meet him for a while."

Ji Guang's self-confidence is not groundless, although the Jin army is not good at forming formations, but the individual combat strength is extremely strong, and it is well-equipped, one against two. The rebel general Guan Du mobilized 16,000 people last night to besiege the 10,000 infantry army of the Jin army, but he killed most of the night until dawn, and he did not distinguish the winner or loser, which shows that the individual combat strength of the Jin army is extremely strong.

The Jin army had its back to Pucheng, waiting for the labor outside the city, and the black turban army came in a hurry, with great physical exertion, and began to form a formation when it was five miles away from Pucheng. Ji Guang stood at the south gate and looked closely, and when he saw the rebels putting up the glaive array, he couldn't help but sneer:

"Rebel boy, I don't think that's it, the general has ordered, all armies and battalions are ready to fight, the rebels are one hundred and twenty paces, and they will shoot arrows at me, and when they reach eighty paces, they will attack on my two flanks and cut off their arms."

"No!"

The flag waved at the head of the city, and the Jin army under the city quickly changed its formation, relying on the city to set up a goose-shaped formation to meet the enemy.

The strength at the bottom of the Glaive Array is the strongest, and the forces on both wings are relatively weak, but it is where the elite troops of the Glaive Array are, suitable for quickly outflanking the left and right, and exporting troops from the bottom of the formation. It is extremely difficult to split it in two from the middle, and when attacked from behind, the Glaive will quickly reverse to form a counter-encirclement, so it can only attack the sides of its flanks, and it must be stormed. Or with more people pressing down on less, surrounded by more people, and forcibly breaking the formation.
