Chapter 654: Storming Gongxian County
"The Shang Shui Army has taken half of the city of Qi County? …… This is what His Royal Highness (King Su) ordered to come and convey? ”
In the Chinese military tent of the Yanling army camp, the deputy general Yan Mo frowned and asked Su Wangwei, who came to convey. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes."
The Su Wangwei nodded, and after hugging his fists at the generals of the Yan Ling army in the tent, he turned around and left.
As soon as he left, the Chinese military tent, which seemed a little deserted just now, immediately became lively.
"What does this mean, Your Highness King Su?" Three thousand people touched Zuo Xunxi's chin, and thought in confusion: "Favoring the merchant army? ”
"It doesn't look like it's favoritism, right?" Gong Yesheng, who was also a 3,000-strong general, said with a smile: "It may be that His Royal Highness King Su thinks that the progress of our army in recent days is too slow, so he uses the merchant army to provoke us and others......"
Hearing this, Hua Yu, who was also a general of three thousand people, licked his lips and said, "What does His Royal Highness King Su mean, is my Yanling army superior to the Shang Shui army?" ”
Saying this, the 3,000 people in the tent began to discuss one after another, but the main general Qu Cheng and the deputy general Yan Mo did not participate in the discussion.
Because they knew that His Royal Highness King Su had specially sent a Su Wangwei to convey the progress of the Shang Shui Army, with the intention of being just as Gong Yesheng said: His Royal Highness the King of Su was not satisfied with the progress of the Yan Ling Army's attack on Gong County in recent days.
In this regard, Qu Cheng, the commander of the Yanling army, couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Because he gradually felt that Haoxian was not as easy to fight as he had imagined at first, so that his Yan Ling army had almost nothing to gain in the past few days.
There is no gain here, it is simply that there is really no gain, except for the grain in the fields on the outskirts of Xuanxian County, Yan Lingjun has not made any progress.
If it were when they were still under Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, or Xiong Hu, the monarch of Pingyu, I am afraid that most of these two would call the generals to the handsome tent to take heavy responsibility, in contrast, the euphemistic incentive method of His Royal Highness King Su is too much more tolerant.
"Alright, alright." Qu Cheng clapped his hands to stop the discussion of the generals in the tent, and said as if summarizing: "Everyone, I think you have also heard it, Your Highness is not satisfied with the progress of my Yan Ling Army in recent days. …… Come to think of it, my Yanling Army has just established an advantage, and you don't want to be overtaken by the Shang Water Army again, right? ”
Hearing this, the expressions of the generals in the tent immediately became serious.
You must know that because of the victory in the Battle of Sanchuan, the status of the Shang Shui Army, as the main force, in Wei has risen, and the rewards it received after the war have all made the generals of the Yanling Army look blushing.
And a few days ago, because Yan Mo cleverly said that he had surrendered to the south gate, the Yanling army snatched the credit of Keyi City from the hands of the Shangshui army, which means that in this battle of Chu, the Yanling army has initially established an advantage, as long as they capture the Yan County before the Shangshui army conquers Qi County, then, even if the Shangshui army finally conquers Qi County, the merits they have established in this battle will be difficult to catch up with the Yanling army in a short time.
You must know that the merit ranking means the number of rewards after the war, and it means the status and reputation in Wei.
Therefore, even Qu Cheng, who is quite selfish, will not let the merchant army be beautiful in this matter.
"Yan Mo, how is the siege equipment built?" Qu Cheng looked back at Yan Mo and said.
Yan Mo clenched his fists and said: "At the end of these two days, the soldiers will be working day and night, and more than 40 wells have been built, 12 rushing vehicles, more than 50 catapults, and more than 100 climbing ladders......
"Good!" Qu Cheng nodded with satisfaction and relief.
remembered that he valued Yan Mo at the beginning, so he spared no effort to pull the latter into the Yanling Army and served as the deputy of the First Army, assisting him.
And it turns out that Yan Mo is indeed a general who can take charge alone.
For example, in the past two days, when Qu Cheng was thinking hard about how to conquer Gongxian with ingenuity, Yan Mo performed his duties as a deputy general, building siege equipment step by step, obviously planning for the worst - to storm Gongxian.
In contrast, the deputy general of the Shang Water Army, the veteran named Zhai Huang, was far inferior to Yan Mo in Qu Cheng's opinion.
Hum...... Shang Shui Jun.
Secretly pursed his lips, Qu Cheng glanced around at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, tomorrow will attack Gongxian County, I hope you will go all out!" …… The advantages that our Yanling army has built up with great difficulty can no longer be overtaken by the merchant army! ”
"Yes!" Including Yan Mo, the generals in the tent responded with their fists.
The next day, that is, on 18 August, following the last incident of robbing and cutting the grain in the fields on the outskirts of Haoxian County, the 40,000 Yanling army once again dispatched the whole army and slowly came to Haoxian County, and Chen soldiers were under the city of Haoxian.
When he set off, Qu Cheng sent his personal guards to report to Zhao Hongrun.
After all, although Zhao Hongrun handed over the attack on Haoxian to the Yanling army, he had to ask for instructions, this was the rule.
Of course, Zhao Hongrun would not stop the actions of the Yanling army, and even, he took the Zongwei and Su Wangwei to move with the army, and after coming to the vicinity of Gongxian County, he found a dirt slope with a better view, and climbed the height to watch the battle.
And together with the brigade, there was also the Fencheng army of the general Xu Yin.
The general left the Zhongwei battalion in the camp, and took the Xiwei battalion led by his subordinate general Cai Baohu to personally suppress the Yanling army.
It can be seen from this that the relationship between the Fencheng army and the Yanling army should be very good.
"Your Highness."
Just when Zhao Hongrun quietly watched the 40,000 troops of the Yanling Army arranging troops in the south of Gongxian County, Xu Yin, the general of the Fenling Army, came to Zhao Hongrun's side with the beloved general Cai Baohu and several personal guards.
"General." Zhao Hongrun arched his hand towards Xu Yin, and then laughed and teased: "Uncle Xu, you are leaving your post without permission." ”
"Hahaha." In the heartfelt smiles of everyone nearby, Xu Yin also laughed, pointed to the love general Cai Baohu behind him and said: "Leaving his post without permission, he is also talking about this bastard!" …… I have to come along. ”
Hearing this, Cai Baohu reached out and grabbed his hair, and said as if complaining: "General, the last general is not good at commanding the army, and it is not my turn to charge into battle in this battle, and it is boring to stay in the army, so you let me follow you." …… There is a little disdain in the Xiwei camp, it's okay. ”
The Xu Contempt in Cai Baohu's mouth is his deputy, the deputy general of the Xiwei Battalion of the Fencheng Army, and he is a commanding general.
Who told Cai Baohu to personally charge ahead in every battle?
Seeing Xu Yin shaking his head helplessly, Zhao Hongrun smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, aren't you afraid of the rest of the generals under your command for your trust in General Cai?" ”
If these words were said by others, I am afraid that they would be suspected of provoking, but these words came out of the mouth of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, whether it was Xu Yin or Cai Baohu, there was not the slightest displeasure.
"This guy ......" In Zhao Hongrun's confused eyes, Xu Yin patted Cai Baohu's arm and said as if recalling: "Xu owes him a life." ”
"Oh? And what's going on? Is it convenient to disclose? As soon as Zhao Hongrun heard it, he knew that there must be some reason for this.
"It's nothing, it's just something that everyone in my Fencheng army knows." Looking back at Cai Baohu, who was smirking, Xu Yin said with a smile: "At the beginning, this guy was one of the bandit leaders on Shangcai's side, and he was very unconvinced by my Fencheng army. …… Where do you say he has the audacity to go around to the rear of my Fencheng and attack the grain transport team of my Fencheng army......"
may have been mentioned to black history, Cai Baohu scratched his head with embarrassment.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun asked more curiously: "What about after that?" ”
"After that?" Xu Yin smiled and said: "At that time, Xu was furious in his heart, and he took 3,000 soldiers to fight this bastard, and this guy actually dared to confront my Fen army head-on, and as a result, he was beaten on the spot......
"That's not fair!" Cai Baohu shouted with embarrassment: "How can a robber under his command at that time beat the soldiers of our Fen Army?" General, you are invincible! ”
"Bullshit!" Xu Yin scolded with a smile, and then recalled: "At that time, this guy was before the war, how arrogant it was, but after the first battle, he saw that he couldn't beat Xu, so he actually fled, and then Xu took his guards to chase after him." …… At that time, this guy didn't know where to get a good horse, and he ran quite fast, chasing after him, and only me and him were left...... The two of us fought hundreds of rounds at the time......"
"Is it so exaggerated?" Zhao Hongrun interrupted with a smile.
You must know that in his opinion, although Xu Yin, a general, is good at leading troops, he is not Cai Baohu's opponent because of his martial arts, right?
Unexpectedly, at this time, Cai Baohu said in an inexplicable tone: "His Royal Highness King Su, the last general at that time was just a reckless man with some brute strength, and General Xu's martial arts at that time were far above the last general......"
As he spoke, he slowly said what happened back then.
It turned out that Xu Yin was happy to see the hunt and cherished Cai Baohu's brute strength, so he showed mercy when he pursued this person alone, and the so-called hundreds of rounds of the battle were just to retain strength, purely to use force to subdue Cai Baohu.
As a result, Cai Baohu was also stubborn, and he didn't beg for mercy and surrender after losing a few games, but became more and more energetic the more he fought.
And just when the two of them were exhausted, a tiger actually sprang out of the mountain forest.
At that time, Cai Baohu didn't notice it, and was almost bitten by the tiger's head, but fortunately, Xu Yin pushed it away and saved Cai Baohu's life, but as a result, Xu Yin's right shoulder was bitten by the tiger.
Afterwards, Cai Baohu carried the injured Xu Yin in one hand and dragged the body of the tiger in the other, and surrendered to the Fencheng army.
It was also from that time that Xu Yin, who had rushed to the front of the army in the past, slowly transformed into a commanding general, but in his Fencheng army, there was an additional fierce general called Cai Baohu, who charged into battle on his behalf......
I see!
Zhao Hongrun was relieved, you must know that he originally felt that Cai Baohu's status was a little special in the Fencheng army: he was obviously the battalion general of the Xiwei Battalion, but every time he fought, he did his own thing, but the generals of the Fencheng Army had no opinion on this.
It turned out that it was Cai Baohu who inherited Xu Yin's force and combat methods, and in a sense, he was Xu Yin's apprentice who inherited the mantle.
Seeing Cai Baohu's respect for Xu Yin, Zhao Hongrun unconsciously remembered the rumor that was unfavorable to Xu Yin.
If General Xu Yin was really framed by some traitors, he wanted to be retaliated by Cai Baohu, a fierce general who could capture the tiger, crazy, right?
Zhao Hongrun thought unconsciously.
And while he was thinking to himself, the trumpet of Yan Lingjun came from afar.
The Yanling army finally launched a strong attack on Hao County! (To be continued.) )
