Chapter 263: Hold your ground
The 600,000 army of the ghost clan was not the kind of encirclement under the city, but blocked all the main roads around Baisha, and its main purpose was to cut off the grain and grass of the Jing army.
He didn't attack the city, but he held the main road, and if the 400,000 Jing army came out, he would definitely be wrapped in dumplings from the left and right.
After the day's investigation, that night, Jingguo began to organize troops to break out, this breakthrough, Jingguo used two forces, one side as a feint to attract the opponent's firepower, on the other hand, the main thing is to pass the news out.
After more than an hour of fighting, in the end, several Jingguo cavalry rushed out of the crowd covered in blood and began to gallop in four directions.
Two days later.
Ten miles outside the city of Liyang County, the camp of the Green Army.
After a symbolic attack on Liyang, the Qingjun never moved. At this time, the news that Baisha had been recovered sent by King Jing had arrived here.
After the big tent of the Chinese army, Qingwang sat down on the handsome case and said: "I didn't expect King Jing to take Baisha so quickly, which is really unexpected." β
Hearing this, Yue Heng, the first commander of Qingguo, said: "King, Baisha is the same as Liyang, it is a big city, and the combat power of the Jing army is not as good as our army, but it can break through Baisha so easily, among them, I am afraid that there is fraud." β
"What do you mean......" Qingwang asked.
"As expected, it is good, and Baisha will be besieged." Yue Heng said, in fact, he still has one sentence that he hasn't said, that is: Ai Hu, the commander of the Jing Army, shouldn't be unable to see it.
"Oh?" When Qingwang heard this, his spirit was shocked, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried.
The result was really said by Yue Heng, and the next day, some of his subordinates came to report, saying that there was a Jingguo sentry asking to see.
The other party said that there was an urgent military situation, and Qingwang's heart moved, and he said, "Call in!" β
The Jingguo soldier didn't walk in by himself at all, but was helped in by two Qingguo soldiers, he was covered in blood, almost all of them were bloodstained, and as soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and said in a trembling voice:
"His Royal Highness the Green King! Baisha is surrounded, and my king asks His Highness to send troops to support! If the allies do not arrive in ten days, our Jing army will be in danger! β
Yes!? Hearing this, King Qing couldn't help but glance at Yue Heng, and while secretly praising it, he also said to the Jingguo sentry on his face: "You can rest assured, and go down to rest first, we and the allies are all one, and now that King Jing is in danger, this king will not ignore it!" β
"Ah, thank you, His Royal Highness the Green Kingβ" the Jingguo soldier said excitedly.
And after he was helped down, King Qing said to Yue Heng with a smile: "General Yue, this king uses soldiers, it is better for you to wait, in this regard, you have to remind this king more." β
He said seriously, and as the king of a country, it doesn't matter whether he will use soldiers, the most important thing is to be able to use people, since ancient times, most of the famous battles are also fought by famous generals, there are very few kings, and the military talent of Yue Heng is also a big reliance for him to prepare to dominate the world.
When Yue Heng heard this, he hurriedly said: "The king is talented and strategic, and the ministers are terrified......"
"Huh?" Qingwang waved his hand, to be honest, he liked Yue Heng very much, and couldn't help asking: "General Yue, then in your opinion, how should our army act now?" β
Yue Heng thought for a while and said, "Dare to ask the king, do you want the Jing army to be wiped out, or do you want the Jing army to be intact." β
"The former, of course." Qingwang said without hesitation: "This alliance, not the king's intention, is the general trend of the world, this king has no choice but to send troops to resist foreign enemies, this time, it is best to expel Hu Lu from the Central Plains at the same time, but also to consume Jingguo!" β
Yue Heng said: "That is the case, then our army can still act according to the previous strategy, just under this Liyang City, neither advance nor retreat, and our army's food and grass are all supplied by Jingguo, there is no need to worry about the cost of the army, and when Jingguo's national strength and strength are almost consumed, it will not be too late for our army to move." In addition, the matter of assistance is the responsibility of the Fifth Route Alliance, and it should be the Yan army to support, and the task of our army is to capture Liyang, as for when to capture it, it is not up to the king. β
"Good, good, well said." King Qing said hello three times in a row, and said with joy: "General Yue's strategy is exactly what this king wants, so do it!" β
Qingwang promised Jingguo to ride on the face, but in fact, it was not the case at all, and when he attacked Liyang, he also stopped moving after a fight.
On the other hand, the camp of the State of Chu also received the urgent news from Jing Guo, and the King of Chu also agreed on his face, but in fact, he did not mean to send troops to support at all.
Qingwang wants to annex Jingguo by the way after expelling Hu Lu, although the king of Chu does not have this idea, but he is reluctant to let the Chu army take risks, these 400,000 Chu army, what is his treasure like, the previous cavalry attack, made him feel distressed for a long time, this attack on Beijun, he was not willing to fight for a real time, but just on the surface, let alone what to support Baisha, and 600,000 ghost clan army head-on.
The state of Chu is rich, but the national policy of the state of Chu has always been left and right, maintaining neutrality, and there has been no war all year round, so although its armament is strong, its military strength is extremely weak, because the soldiers of the state of Chu are soldiers who have never been on the battlefield! It can also be called a young master soldier.
Compared to the State of Chu, the State of Wind is just the opposite. Barren, desolate, fighting year after year, although the armor and armament are not as strong as the Chu army, but the military strength is not at the same level as the Chu army, it is no exaggeration to say that on the real battlefield, the 100,000 Pingzhou army of the wind country can definitely fight the 300,000 Chu army!
In this case, neither Qingguo nor Chu had the intention of sending troops to aid Baisha, and on the Yan side, if Zhao Jin brought 400,000 Yan Central Army this time, then maybe he would lead the army to relieve the siege, but the bad thing is that Zhao Jin is here to fight soy sauce this time, and his 400,000 Yan army, others don't know at all, in fact, it is made up by 400,000 local troops, in front of the regular army, it can be said that it is a group of rabble, how can he lead troops to support?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to be stationed at Yongping Pass and be responsible for transporting grain and grass.
Asking for help in four directions, three directions were promised on the surface, but in fact they did not send troops, and when they arrived at the Fengjun of Beishan Pass, Lu Chen also responded first, and then began to discuss with the generals.
Xiao Wang said: "The Qingjun is the closest to Baisha, if the Qingwang has the heart to support, it can be reached in two days, and our army is here, hundreds of miles away from Baisha, and the Yan army is behind, its task is also to support everywhere, therefore, Weichen thinks that our army should not move." β
