Text Chapter 318 Strong soldiers encounter a duel
In the same night, Jingyang Palace, as Cui Mingzhen guessed, Zhenfan Wang Weiyouqu finally received the exact news at this time, and the Han cavalry that landed from Yongchuankou had the first engagement with the Zhenfan army on the way forward.
"What do you say! Our 3,000 foot soldiers didn't leave a piece of armor for a thousand Han soldiers? Thisβhow is this possible! β
Wei Wang stood up from his seat violently, and stared viciously at the third prince Wei Wuji, who rushed to report the matter in front of him, as if he was about to eat people.
It's no wonder that he was so surprised, although the previous loss of troops at Yongchuankou made him very angry, but it was only anger, and his thoughts were only revenge. Although the building ships of the Han Dynasty were powerful, they were only on the sea, and he never believed that the Han army, which had traveled thousands of miles, would bargain on land.
He has 100,000 troops in his hands, and with the help of the Huns, if the Han army does not come, it is enough, since they come, they must let them go and have no return. The 30,000 Han Dynasty troops were defeated last time, and what can the four or five thousand people do this time?
Wei Youqu didn't think that this matter should be handled by himself, and he could just leave it to the third prince to handle it. This son, who is very similar to his own in terms of personality and means, King Wei's mind is now more and more biased towards him.
A few days ago, in front of the ministers in the main hall, when Wei Youqu personally handed over the command of the most elite 20,000 imperial battalions and horses to Wei Wuji, a lot of information had been revealed. His mind has been seen very clearly in the hearts of many.
That's right, what Wei Youqu wants to do is exactly the same as some people in the DPRK and China guessed. He wanted to take the opportunity of this battle with the Han army to establish the prestige of the third prince, let him lead the most elite army, defeat the invading Han army, and truly establish his position.
His wishful thinking played very well, but it was a pity, as if God was not willing to help the third prince! First of all, his greatest help, the Xuandao God of Qingwa Villa was defeated and died. Then it was unfavorable to send troops again, and all the 3,000 pioneers sent out were annihilated, and only two or three deserters ran back to report the news. This is a bad omen!
The third prince, Wei Wuji, received the news of the defeat when he was worshipping his master in Qingwa Villa. He was so surprised that he couldn't discuss with those people how to find the enemy for revenge, so he hurried back to Jingyang Palace with his guards Pegasus to report to King Wei.
"Father, this is true. According to the person who came back to report it, the cavalry was small in number, but it was well equipped and extremely strong. It seems that our pre-estimate is insufficient, and we should pay attention to it. This time it was perhaps one of the most elite troops of the Han Dynasty who came to invade our country! β
Although Wei Wuji is unruly and domineering on weekdays, it does not mean that he is a brainless person. On the contrary, this man, like his father, can be regarded as a hero.
Wei Youqu frowned and walked back and forth a few steps, what his son said was not wrong, it seems that he should properly deploy troops and eliminate this Han cavalry as soon as possible, otherwise they will run around in the territory, and there may not be any unforeseen crises.
"Wuji, you immediately command the soldiers and horses of the imperial camp outside Wang Wei City, and personally go to the south road to meet the cavalry, you must kill them all, and you must not let them run away!"
"Father, no!"
Hearing Wei Wuji's loud protest, Wei Youqu couldn't help but be stunned, he stared at his son's eyes, and asked a little strangely, "What, are you afraid?" Don't dare to fight them? β
The lanterns outside Jingyang Palace are swaying, and in the light and shadow of the night, there are scattered snowflakes that begin to fall and flutter from mid-air. Perhaps, the heavy snow of winter is coming. Wei Wuji retracted his gaze, he was most afraid of the cold and didn't like snow in winter.
"Father, the soldiers and horses of the imperial camp outside the city can't move, and the more than 10,000 defenders inside the city can't move. The child is not afraid of going to the battlefield to fight, but to firmly guard the safety of the royal city and his father here! β
What do you mean by that? This is the case! β
King Wei softened his expression and shook his head lightly, he didn't believe that such a weak force of four or five thousand people in the Han army would pose any threat to Wang Xiancheng.
"Be prepared, don't be unprepared! Cavalry battles come and go like the wind, and although the Han army is small, it must also be guarded against. After all, his father's body is ten thousand gold, and his body is related to the fortune of the country, so he can't make the slightest mistake. Moreover, according to the information inquired, the Han army building ship has been heading north from the coast of Yongchuankou, and it seems that it is going to take the old road of the last time, enter the Datong River and go down the river until the middle reaches to capture the royal city. Therefore, the tens of thousands of horses inside and outside the city must not be moved lightly, and they need to actively prepare for war and wait for work. β
Hearing what he said so surely, King Wei thought for a moment, and couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with the third prince's opinion.
"Mowgli, what should you do? Is there a way to defend against the enemy?"
Wei Wuji had already secretly planned on the way here, and at this time, he was confident, and he did not hesitate, and immediately said his plan.
"Father, if the Han Dynasty's Lou boat really came up from the Datong River, there is no need to be afraid. How the Han fleet was destroyed last time, this time let them repeat the same mistakes, this point is not to worry about for the time being. The top priority now is to wipe out the Han cavalry that has already entered the country. After they landed at Yongchuankou, if they wanted to attack the royal city in the north, they would have to pass through at least thirty or forty passes, and the total number of troops we stationed in these passes would be at least fifty or sixty thousand. With so many troops, can't they encircle and suppress more than a thousand Han troops along the way? Hehe! β
"Wang Er is right! Okay, I will immediately send a flying cavalry herald to tell the generals of the garrison everywhere to supervise the battle with the king's token, so that they can do their best to detect the traces of the Han army and destroy it as soon as possible. If anyone lets them go, the king will not spare them! β
King Wei was determined in his heart, under the encirclement and suppression of fifty or sixty thousand horses, he didn't believe that a tired army that was alone in the depths could still escape!
"In addition, since the Huns have asked us to help them invade the Han Dynasty this time, then before that, of course, they should do their best to help us really relieve our worries. Didn't the Hun general Gu Yaduo also say at the banquet that his father had an order, and he would definitely serve. It is said that the five thousand Huns were entertained with delicious food and drink, and after such a long time, it was time for them to carry out activities! β
"Mowgli, it's still thoughtful! Don't you say it, my father really forgot that there is such a powerful force stationed in us! Yes, the Han and the Huns were originally natural enemies, and since their cavalry had a chance to meet here, how could they not have a good fight? Presumably, Captain Gu Yaduo was also very willing to do this. Hahaha! β
King Wei was happy in his heart. No matter how powerful the cavalry of the Han Dynasty is, can it surpass the Hun iron cavalry? Five thousand against one thousand, do you need to talk about victory or defeat! I don't have to worry about it! Wei Youqu looked at his son with appreciative eyes, reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"Mowgli, my father didn't misunderstand you! hated the civil and military nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, who flattered him on weekdays, but had nothing to do in an emergency. Those who can solve their worries are the only ones who have no taboo! This matter is entrusted to you, and everything is allowed to be done in the name of this king. Go for it, do it! β
Wei Wuji was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, respectfully responding to his order. With this last word from his father, the power in his hands was too great. In addition to dispatching military horses to kill the Han army, there are some things he has wanted to do for a long time, so he might as well take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to end it!
The secret fighting between the palaces and palaces of Jingyang Palace is no different from other dynasties. Some contradictions have been around for a long time. It's just that under the huge authority of King Wei, those undercurrents are floating under the water, and no one dares to act rashly. But when encountering an external torrent, it will suddenly erupt after all, and the destructive power at that time will be extremely huge.
The next day, after hearing the request for troops brought by Wei Wuji, Gu Yaduo, the commander of the Huns, really agreed very happily. This fierce general among the Huns, but also a master who is not willing to be lonely, this time he finally led an army to the real country, it is the time to make contributions, how can he let go of this opportunity to be alone. Last time, he led 5,000 iron cavalry to outflank the back road and defeated the Han army, and he didn't enjoy killing yet.
"Please tell King Wei that there is no need for him to worry about this matter, just concentrate on arranging the conquest of the Han Dynasty. Thousands of Han Dynasty cavalry, as long as the Hun warriors arrived, discipline them and have no bones! Hahaha! β
The commander of the Huns happily gathered all the men and horses, shared a large number of rewards from the three armies rewarded by the king of Wei, and then pulled out the camp and sent troops to find his prey.
Wei Wuji led a group of henchmen to look at the backs of these Huns rolling away in smoke and dust, and couldn't help but feel secretly proud in their hearts. Although the real national strength is weak, as long as you are good at using this method of "taking chestnuts from the fire" and survive in the gap between the powerful countries, you will not be able to win the greatest benefits.
Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the city, he suddenly saw a group of remnants fleeing in a panic in the distance, Wei Wuji couldn't help but be a little suspicious in his heart, and sure enough, a moment later, he learned a jaw-dropping news.
Ganyunling was defeated! More than 30,000 Zhenfan troops were almost wiped out, and the general Jin Taizhong died in the chaos, and the Han army after the convergence was a total of 5,000 men and horses in the direction of the king's dangerous city!
The third prince and his subordinates, who thought they had a plan just now, were completely stunned by the news. A feeling arose in their hearts that something was wrong. In such a short period of time, the Han army has won three battles and three victories, adding up to almost 40,000 real troops buried in the hands of the other party! Is this really the work of a team of only a thousand horsemen? Are they all three-headed and six-armed figures?!
Wei Wuji couldn't think about anything else, who would have thought that within a few days, a huge crisis would suddenly come! What if those Huns couldn't stop this Han cavalry......? While he flew back to the city to report the shocking news of King Wei, he was anxious to prepare for the worst.
At the same moment, hundreds of miles away, the snowflakes flew like a black hurricane across the land, and the Black Eagle Knights in red-tasseled helmets galloped across the wilderness, flowing water, towns, and checkpoints...... Thousands of mountains and twilight snow are behind you, and the enemies in front are all invincible!
After resting for the night at the Lukou Pass that flew last night, Yuan Zhao led his high-spirited subordinates to step out of the pass, and looked up from afar under the flag. Swing the knife and point to the place, three hundred miles away from the king dangerous city, forward!
