Chapter 486: After the Break
Ying Kang immediately led the troops from the front to the rear.
At this moment, his subordinates led the scouts of the Qin people over. From the anxious look on his face, he could tell that the scout was easy to find. After all, it was not only the Qin family of princes who escorted Zhou Tianzi to move east, it was really not easy to find the Qin people among so many princes, not to mention that at this time, the team chasing by the dog Rong also rushed over, and the scouts had to find the team of the Qin people along the way since they avoided the pursuing soldiers of the dog Rong.
It really took a bit of work.
"Your Majesty, on the day you led your troops to escort the Son of Heaven, Dog Rong immediately sent 20,000 troops to attack our scattered city, and encountered our army outside the city. A day after the battle between the two sides, Inu Rongyou led his troops to Chenyi and attacked my army of more than 1,000 reinforcements outside the Jiankuo Ridge. Now the dog Rong army is storming Chenyi, and the Chenyi defenders are invincible, and the villain comes to report to the king. ”
"Huh?" After listening to the scout's report, Ying Kang was surprised, "Have you reported this matter to Xiangguo and Sima?" ”
"General Chenyi ordered the villain to report to the king, and at the same time, he also ordered the person to report the matter to Xiangguo and Sima. Now the entire Qin Land is preparing to defend. The general ordered the villain to report the matter quickly, and asked the king to decide, otherwise the city would not be protected. ”
In fact, there is no need to say what the scout said, as long as the rescue is not timely, Chenyi City will definitely not be able to be saved.
Yingkang is not stupid, how can he not know the relationship between defense and offense.
The strength of the troops is equal, and it cannot be attacked for a long time;
If it is more than three times, the city can be broken;
Five times more, and the city will be broken.
At present, the strength of the dog is about ten times that of the defenders of the city, and if there is no reinforcement to help, the city will be broken.
But at the moment, the soldiers and horses he led left Chenyi far away, and even if he brought the troops back to help immediately after hearing the news, he would not be able to catch up. After all, he has already passed Hojing, and he is about to walk out of Guanzhong.
At the current pace of infantry marching, it will not be possible to rush back without four or five days.
Even if it is to wait for himself to lead the troops back, it will definitely be too late, because with the attack speed of the dog Rong, Chenyi is definitely not guaranteed.
In that case, what should I do?
Ying Kang's head was sweating.
What to do?
What to do!
Ying Kang knows very well what the dog Rong is, once they conquer Chenyi, it will definitely be a disaster, slaughtering the city, killing, even setting fire to it, etc., any disaster that can be thought of, the dog Rong will do it.
Don't be humane, I'm not there yet.
Yingkang is in a hurry!
This is the chamberlain coming over, "Guanxi Hou, the king asked the servants why you haven't led the troops yet, and the dog Rong Ke will call you later." ”
Seeing that Yingkang walked halfway and refused to stop, Zhou Tianzi was also anxious, and immediately arranged for the waiter to ask.
"Your grandmother 0, don't you see people busy?" Yingkang, who was already anxious, scolded angrily.
Well?
The waiter looked at Yingkang in surprise, thinking that he had misheard, "What does Guanxi Hou mean by this?" ”
"Oh--" Ying Kang realized that he had lost his temper, but the other party was just a small chamberlain, and if he said something wrong, he would say something wrong, even if he reported it to Zhou Tianzi, it didn't matter much.
At this time, Zhou Tianzi could not be compared with the previous Zhou Tianzi, except for the name of a Son of Heaven, there was nothing else.
But no matter what, there is still due respect, so Yingkang said to the waiter: "Don't be surprised, don't be surprised, I hope you will forgive Yingkang for his gaffe." The minister then led the troops to the rear. Ying Kang hurriedly agreed.
On the way, Ying Kang was thinking that even if he led the troops to rescue at the moment, he would not be able to connect, it was better to strike hard at the dog Rong army that came to pursue, as long as these enemies were eliminated, I didn't believe that the dog Rong army far away in Chenyi would not retreat.
Yes, I must find a way to deal with the bleak army here, so that they have no return, as long as the bleak pursuers are completely destroyed, the siege of Chenyi will be lifted.
Thinking of this, Ying Kang said to the scout: "You hurry back to Yucheng, let Xiangguo and Sima must find a way to rescue Chenyi, as long as our reinforcements can reach Chenyi within two days, Chenyi can be guaranteed, and the city will die in more than two days." Remember, you must not let the enemy in the north of Chenyi City conquer. ”
Ying Kang knew that there was no hope at all if he had to lead his troops to rescue Chenyi at the moment, but if someone could put pressure on the enemy from the periphery when the enemy attacked Chenyi, he might be able to reduce the speed of the enemy's attack on Chenyi.
"Your Majesty, the current Qin people only have about 10,000 reinforcements, all of which are used and may not be the enemy's opponents, my general asked the little one to inform the monarch of this matter before leaving." The scout said.
"You just have to inform the relevant and Sima of the widow's words, and you must tell them that as long as they can hold out for more than three days, the Qin people will definitely be able to get through the difficulties."
Ying Kang has calculated, his current position is more than 300 kilometers away from Chenyi, and it will take 30 hours to reach Yucheng based on the calculation of 20 kilometers per hour of the war horse, and then it will take time to lead the troops from Yucheng to Chenyi, and it will take at least three days to come and go.
However, according to his judgment, the prime ministers Yingzhao and Sima Boyu, who were far away in Yucheng, would not see Chenyi lost, and would definitely send troops to reinforce Chenyi before his orders arrived.
Now, as long as he can inflict heavy damage on the pursuers of the dog Rong here, it is equivalent to relieving the siege of Chenyi.
The scout received the order, and immediately turned the horse's head and galloped west again.
After the scout left, Yingkang became even more anxious, he knew very well that the faster he attacked here, the more enemies he would destroy, and the smaller the night would be for Chenyi, which was far away in the western part of Guanzhong.
If it was to carry out Zhou Tianzi's edict just now, then now it is completely to save his own city.
"All the soldiers, advance with the widows, and beat the dogs and pursuers." Ying Kang said to the Qin army generals behind him.
When Yingkang led the troops to the back of the team, Shen Hou, who was originally in charge of the broken post, suddenly felt that his night had eased a lot, "Oh, Guanxi Hou, Guanxi Hou, I finally looked forward to you." After seeing Yingkang, Shenhou said.
"When did Shenhou see the enemy's pursuers, and how many of them were there?" Yingkang didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly.
"Just over two hours ago, our soldiers patrolling the perimeter spotted Rong Di's pursuers, about five thousand or so." Shenhou replied.
"Since Rong Di's pursuers were discovered two hours ago, why haven't we seen Rong Di come to attack us yet?" Ying Kang thought about this thing a little strange!
Two hours is four hours, and since the enemy's pursuers had been discovered so long ago, why had the enemy not seen the enemy chasing after such a long time?
Shenhou said: "Xiaohou also wonders, why has the enemy not attacked after such a long time? However, for the past two hours, Xiao Hou's heart has always been uneasy, once the enemy suddenly attacks our army, it will be difficult for us to resist. ”
Anyway, they are all their own people, and now Shenhou is not afraid of Yingkang's jokes, and said to Yingkang directly.
"Shenhou don't have to worry, Rong Di is actually not terrible, as long as the soldiers are not afraid of them in their hearts, they will definitely be able to defeat the enemy." Ying Kang cheered up Shen Hou and said.
