Next, according to Su Muzhi's arrangement, Qingyang led 30,000 elites and began to detour the path, and rushed to Yingcheng under the stars.

Yingcheng is a small city, not a Xiongguan pass, and there is no green army in the city, and this place is only used as a way for the green army to transport grain and grass.

Therefore, when Qingyang led the army to arrive here, the Yingcheng County Guard who received the news was so frightened that his soul was scattered! Isn't there a Zhongli army in front of him, he really can't understand why the Wind Army suddenly appeared here!

In Yingcheng, only some officers and soldiers of the government can be called armed forces, but there are only a few officers and soldiers, and their combat strength cannot confront the central army.

There is no doubt that if the 30,000 wind army starts to attack the city, then this point of officers and soldiers in the city may not be able to hold even two hours! The county guard of Yingcheng made a decision immediately, without saying a word, directly carrying the gold and silver family members, and began to flee by the road.

With the escape of Yingcheng County Guard, Qingyang can be said to have taken this place without blood, but it is easy to occupy Yingcheng, and if you want to hold it in the back, I am afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky!

A few days later, the news also reached Zhongli.

At this time, in the camp of the Qing Army, a partial general hurriedly walked in, clasped his fists at Zhongli and said: "General, I just received a report that the wind army has attacked Yingcheng, and now Yingcheng has been lost!" ”

"Oh?" When Zhongli heard this, he didn't have a shocked expression, he just raised his eyebrows, but this was a bit unexpected to him.

Yingcheng is a small city in his own supply line, of course, Zhongli knows this, but in his opinion, if the wind army takes a detour to occupy Yingcheng, it is equivalent to a lone army going deep, and he can directly block it in Qingdi.

Thinking of this, he also smiled lightly. Seeing this, the general hurriedly asked, "General, are you rushing to Yingcheng now?" ”

"Huh? There is no hurry. Zhongli waved his hand slightly and said, "Su Muzhi's use of soldiers like this is tantamount to asking for his own death. ”

As he spoke, he asked again, "How many men and horses are there in the wind army that attacked Yingcheng?" Who are the generals? ”

"It is reported that there should be about 30,000 people, and its general is Qingyang, the general of the Wind Country. ”

"Oh? Qingyang? It's a big fish. Zhongli's eyes lit up. Qingyang is not only the general of the Wind Country, not long ago, he was awarded the four fierce generals by the Wind King, with a very high military rank, and the position of earl, he actually led the troops to occupy Yingcheng, this is really a godsend!

Hearing this, the general said suspiciously: "What does the general mean ......"

Zhongli smiled and said, "Our army will first withdraw to Xunyang, and then surround Yingcheng with a large army, cut off the connection between Yingcheng and the Feng army, and then deploy ambushes to support Yingcheng's main road." ”

"What does the general mean by besieging the city for reinforcements?" The general's eyes lit up.

"That's right!" Zhongli said directly: "With the big fish of Qingyang, I am not afraid that Su Muzhi will not support, and once he supports Yingcheng, our army can set up an ambush on the middle of the road and annihilate it in one fell swoop!" ”

After he formulated his tactics, he also did what he said, led the whole army to withdraw to Xunyang, and then, with 100,000 troops, surrounded the entire Yingcheng regiment, and then set up an ambush in the middle of the road.

There is nothing wrong with his tactics, if the Wind Army is replaced by another commander, Qingyang is in a hurry, and the Wind Army may only go to support, so he will be fooled.

But what he encountered this time was Su Muzhi.

From the beginning to the end, the latter had no intention of supporting Yingcheng at all!

Zhongli's military deployment was quickly completed, and when the 100,000 army surrounded Yingcheng, Qingyang had naturally already received the news.

At this time, a partial general was saying to Qingyang: "General! Now that the army is besieging the city, our army has become a lone army, with enemies on all sides, and I am afraid that the whole army is in danger of annihilation! ”

As he spoke, the expression on his face was also very anxious.

When Qingyang heard this, he glared at him and said, "What are you panicking about!?" Our department just sticks to and waits for help, didn't Su Shuai say that once the city is in an emergency, he will lead the army to help as soon as possible. ”

As he spoke, he added: "You immediately order the brother of the military aircraft battalion to send a message to Su Shuai, inform him of the situation in Yingcheng, and ask him to send troops here." ”

"No!" The general hurriedly responded.

The military intelligence of the Feng Army is strong, and Tang Man has made great contributions, and the backbone of the military aircraft battalion under her command, that is, her clansmen, are proficient in the art of falconry, and through the falcon, the news that Yingcheng was besieged by the army quickly spread to Su Muzhi.

After learning about the situation in Yingcheng, Su Muzhi immediately convened the generals in the tent.

Sun Sheng was the first to speak: "Su Shuai, now that General Qingyang is trapped and the situation is critical, should our army support immediately?" ”

Su Muzhi glanced at him and said, "In General Sun's opinion, how many days can Yingcheng and Qingyang hold on?" ”

Sun Sheng thought for a while, and said truthfully: "Although General Qingyang is brave in the three armies, but his troops do not bring much grain and grass, at present, I am afraid that at most ten days, there will be no food, at that time, 30,000 troops will be trapped alive in Yingcheng." ”

"You're right." Su Muzhi: "Yingcheng can be held for ten days at most, perhaps, ten days can't be held, therefore, what we have to do now is not to support Yingcheng, but to capture Xunyang!" ”

Yes!? Hearing this, Sun Sheng was startled, and hurriedly said: "But Su Shuai, General Qingyang, he ......"

He originally wanted to say that Qingyang is a general, with such a high military rank, if he sits and watches him trapped, and is indifferent and does not go to support, let alone damage one of his own generals, even the king, he will not be able to explain it when the time comes!

It's just that before his words could be spoken, Su Muzhi had already interrupted him and said, "Now that Zhongli is besieging Yingcheng with an army of 100,000, do you think there are only these 100,000 people?" As the commander expected, Zhongli must have set up an ambush in the middle of the road, intending to besiege the city to help, if our army goes to the city to support, not only will it not help, but it will put the whole army in a desperate situation! ”

"That'...... Just watching General Qingyang being trapped to death? Sun Sheng still said incredulously, now, he even had some suspicions, Su Muzhi had already counted all this, and he deliberately asked Qingyang to attract the main force of the Qingjun!

In other words, he had already decided to abandon Qingyang's 30,000 comrades!

He was right, Su Muzhi was also planning to do so!

And this time, Yingcheng has to be Qingyang, because if it weren't for him, Zhongli wouldn't have paid so much attention to it.

After a pause, Su Muzhi said in a straight voice: "Now, Zhongli has put all his focus on the battle in Yingcheng, in Xunyang City, there are only tens of thousands of defenders at most, he thinks that we will go to support, but we want to do the opposite, in the shortest time, capture Xunyang!" ”

"The general is going to ...... Is it to exchange the lives of General Qingyang and 30,000 soldiers for the victory of Xunyang? Sun Sheng stammered.

Su Muzhi said: "General Qingyang is criss-crossed the battlefield and has experienced a hundred battles, we must have confidence in him. ”
