Chapter 241: Trouble

In the summer of 341 in the Yuan calendar of the Ji Zhou Kingdom, when the internal cabinet and military headquarters of Ji Zhou ordered the Fengyun Legion and the Dragon and Tiger Legion on the Eastern Front to quickly end the war and transfer a part back to the imperial city, Qian Buli led the Tianwei Legion to suddenly launch a furious offensive. Fun mini-games .

The battle was changeable, Qian Buli ordered the Blade Army and the Lightning Army to attack the Sanyan Well, using the tunnels dug during the retreat more than half a year ago to raid, and then covering the back flank of Yingpan Valley, and attacking from the two sides, while Qian Buli personally led the army to camp in front of Yingpan Valley. Who knew that Xu Qin, the defender of Yingpangu, saw that Qian Buli had a very large army, and led the standing army to flee without an arrow.

Qian Buli led the Tianxiang Army to intercept Xu Qin's retreat, the enemy advanced and retreated, not confronting each other head-on, but using bows and arrows to constantly harass, and under the cover of the lightning army and the wind army that came later, Xu Qin led more than 4,000 routs to surrender.

Qian Buli is fighting a blitzkrieg, handing over the matter of collecting prisoners to Ren Shuai, leading the three-way cavalry to continue to attack, the world's communication methods are really backward, and when the cabinet received an urgent report from Hongzhou, Qian Buli had already led the army across the Nu River, and Liu Kai, the city lord of Hushitai, only had more than 2,500 city defense troops, so he obediently opened the city gate and asked Qian Buli to enter the city.

Zhu Wei, the new assassin of Yongzhou, wasted a lot of effort to suppress the forces of Wei Beihui, the original assassin, but when he sent troops to escort Wei Beihui to the imperial city, the prisoner car was robbed by a group of mysterious people leading the township Yong, and then Wei Bei returned to the declaration of escape, and the villagers and people all over Yongzhou echoed. Zhu Wei was powerless to resist and fled from Yongzhou in a panic.

Qian Buli attacked hundreds of miles a day, and this kind of alternative blitzkrieg caught Ji Zhou's cabinet and military headquarters off guard, and even sent a 10,000-strong Praetorian Guard army to Hushitai, trying to block the Tianwei Legion with the help of the Nujiang River, in exchange for a chance to breathe, who knew that this Praetorian Guard had just walked half the way. Qian Buli has been stationed in the rest of the city and looks at the whole territory of Pennsylvania from afar.

The ministers of the military department all thought that they were military strategists. Not to mention their ability, their style of play alone is too conservative! Suffering from the fact that the standing army of Ji Zhou has been almost transferred, they only filled 10,000 people in Hongzhou's Yingpan Valley, and the military plan is to erect two lines of defense, Yingpan Valley and Sanyanjing are one, if they can't hold it, there is also the strength of the whole Hongzhou to consume money and not leave; The second is the Tongzhou Defense Line. According to the plan of the military department, as long as Hongzhou began to fight, some of the standing armies in various parts of Tongzhou would be transferred to the Nujiang River to defend the Nujiang River, and at the same time the royal guards would be sent to participate in the war. A lot of money is consumed without leaving the strength.

It's a pity that Qian Buli never attacked the city, did not descend that is, left, never dragged mud and water, and now the defenders in Tongzhou Mansion are still more than 20,000 people, although there has been no battle, but Qian Buli with 15,000 cavalry from the city of Tongzhou City galloped mightily. The guards of Tongzhou Mansion were frightened, closed the four gates, and waited for help.

Qian Buli sat on the stump of the tree and looked up and down at the two maps, the reason why he sat on the stump was because after the last supply, each cavalry only carried 20 catties of dry food and 200 arrows, and the light cavalry set out, not a single baggage, not even a tent, and the cavalry team, including Qian Buli, was resting in the open air. Where did you get the chairs?! This is also the reason why Qian Buli launched an offensive in the summer. If you change the spring and autumn seasons, even if you are camping in the open air with a war horse. The soldiers are also likely to get sick.

The remaining city garrisons in the rear are only 20,000, and the Pingdingshan garrison in front is only around 3,000, but the main generals on both sides are hard bones and resolutely do not surrender. Qian Buli pondered for a long time, if he let go of these two places and attacked Pennsylvania from the flank of Pingdingshan, then it was very likely that he would encounter reinforcements from the other side, in addition to the Royal Praetorian Guard, it was difficult for the current military department to transfer an army that could confront the Tianwei Legion, and Qian Buli did not want to engage the Royal Praetorian Guard at this moment.

The power of the foot crossbow is not far from the experience, it is indeed extremely sharp, although because of the characteristics of the crossbow, when rushing into the battle, it can only be crossbowed by soldiers located in the front line, but it can also bring heavy casualties to his team, these three cavalry teams are his money will not leave the capital of the future prestige of the exotic, and now the infantry team has not come up, can avoid it.

"General. Du Bing approached the stump where Qian Buli was sitting.

"What's the matter?" Qian Buli raised his head.

"We only have enough food for two days, you see. Is it to take down a place and resupply it on the spot? Du Bing also knew that driving the cavalry to attack the fortified position was a move that outweighed the losses, but he had no choice but to take the initiative to ask for battle now: "According to the general's plan, Xiaoyun will hit the rest of the city in at least twenty days, and now even if we turn back, it will be too late." ”

"You don't have to worry about food, I have my own arrangements. Qian Buli reflexively made a gesture and asked Yan Qingguo to put away the map: "Let the soldiers rest for a while, they will soon be on a long journey." ”

"Also. Still running? Du Bing smiled bitterly, saying that it was impossible not to worry, and it was about to run out of food: "General, I feel that we are the same as Zamuhe now, and we know how to run." ”

"It's a sports war! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, go ahead, you can also go and rest for a while. ”

Qian Buli is indeed not only worried about the problem of food and land, he is confident in his own land arrangement, but in De'an City, Tongzhou, Ren Shuai and Li Xiaoyun, who are also full of confidence in themselves, have encountered some trouble.

The walls of De'an City are not high, and there are not many defenders in the city, only less than 3,000 standing troops, which are almost the same as other cities in Tongzhou, and the cabinet and the military department ordered them to be stationed separately and supply on the spot, it is precisely in order to reduce the burden of transportation, no one thought that Yingpangu and Sanyanjing would be lost in a blink of an eye, and the money did not leave the army to march surprisingly fast, and these standing armies had not yet completed the strategic assembly, and they had been blocked in the city. Rao is the chief military officer of Tongzhou Prefecture, sending messengers everywhere. Ordered all the standing armies to assemble in Tongzhou Mansion, but the three cavalry teams that went deep into their rear brought them great pressure, except for a few stiff-headed generals who rushed to Tongzhou Mansion with their troops, most of the garrison generals did not move, delaying time to inspect the wind, who knows where those cavalry went? If you get out of the city and are ambushed, won't it be over?!

Ren Shuai and Li Xiaoyun before attacking De'an City. I didn't take this small city seriously at all, maybe because the garrison didn't want to fight hard in the inner room. Maybe it was the Tianwei army that annihilated the Tielang Legion and broke the courage, in short, along the way, many cities and counties were looking at the wind, and Jiang Jihong, the chief military officer of Hongzhou Mansion, led more than 4,000 soldiers to resist stubbornly, but his head was cut off by his own subordinates.

Under the successive victories, even Li Xiaoyun, who had always been cautious, became excited, although he was standing under the city of De'an. But his eyes were fixed on Tongzhou Mansion, where more than 20,000 garrisons were the fierce opponents of the Tianwei Army! According to the plan, he had to rush to the rest of the city within twenty days, so in Li Xiaoyun's opinion, capturing the Tongzhou Mansion within five days at a small price was a real challenge. Don't mention it.

Ren Shuai, who was a little impatient, had already run to the front and called the other party's guards to surrender, but it was a pity to greet Ren Shuai. But it was a rain of arrows, and the defender of De'an City expressed his attitude with his actions in Kaizhou.

It's an unbearable challenge! Want to use your mantis arm as a car? Ren Shuai immediately ordered the soldiers to rush to the ladder and start the siege at dusk.

Who knew that Yu Kaizhou was not a good stubble, and he defended De'an City without leaking, and Ren Shuai failed to attack, with more than 500 casualties. Fortunately, this was only a tentative attack, and fortunately, there were too few soldiers and horses in Kaizhou, so he did not dare to transfer the soldiers on the rest of the city gates, otherwise Ren Shuai's casualties would never be more than 500 people.

Li Xiaoyun was still a little sober, and tried his best to dissuade the rampaging Ren Shuai, Tang Yunlong's catapult army will arrive tomorrow, there is no need to fight with people tonight, and finally Ren Shuai still agreed to Li Xiaoyun's suggestion and ordered the whole army to camp.

In the afternoon of the second day, Tang Yunlong's catapult army finally arrived. The catapult army originally had more than 200 catapults. But the Nanling plank road is really not easy to walk, and Tang Yunlong only brought out more than 50 vehicles. Although there are fewer catapults, fifty catapults are still fatal for the small town of De'an.

After several hours of dismantling and fixing, Tang Yunlong commanded the catapult to start the test firing, after a long period of exercise, Tang Yunlong's level became more superb, after the first round of volleys, the city gate of De'an City collapsed.

Ren Shuai personally sounded the war drums, Li Xiaoyun commanded the soldiers to charge in front, gathered the archers to suppress both sides of the city gate, and the swordsmen began to charge.

According to Ren Shuai's temper, he will not give up easily, but Qian Buli instructed before leaving, acting mainly with Huairou, dividing the enemy army at the same time, but also digesting the strength of the enemy army, so in the end, Ren Shuai was unwilling to stop the attack and surrendered.

In fact, the person who asked to surrender was not Yu Kaizhou, but Yu Kaizhou's deputy general Zhang Qi and a few dead soldiers went out of the city to give Yu Kaizhou a chance to breathe.

Ren Shuai and Li Xiaoyun traveled all the way, this kind of surrender has been seen too much, has formed inertia, no one is suspicious, Ren Shuai ordered the deputy general Guan Shengzhi to lead more than 500 soldiers into the city to seal and detain, supervise the standing army in the city. But as soon as Guan Shengzhi entered the city, the front team was attacked by a rain of arrows on both sides, and the standing army at the head of the city also used the weapons that had been prepared for a long time, and arrows, boiling oil, and rolling wood and stones fell from the city one after another. Guan Shengzhi fled back with his subordinates in embarrassment, and the city gate was tightly blocked by Yu Kaizhou with rolling wood and stones and temporarily prepared sacks filled with sand, this time there were only more than 200 soldiers who could go back alive, and most of the others were blocked in the city, and the end can be imagined.

On the other side, Zhang Qi and several dead soldiers heard the shouts of killing, so they began to snatch weapons and tried to assassinate Ren Shuai, but they were dismembered by Ren Shuai's personal guards.

Strictly speaking, no matter what Yu Kaizhou's ability is, his actions are too stupid, this is a civil war in the country, and he can't lose his reputation for righteousness if he fights to the death, and the reputation of Qian Budi is not very good. But Ji Shenglie's reputation is even more stinky, and rumors of killing his father and usurping the throne have been quietly circulating, in comparison, Ji Shengqing's benevolence has attracted more attention.

The generals who dare to fight to the death are by no means the only ones in Kaizhou, the reason why other cities are looking down is that in addition to the main reason for the strong strength of the Tianwei army, Ji Shengqing's reputation for benevolence and kindness has played a big role. If given the choice, they are willing to accept Ji Shengqing. Of course. When Ji Shengqing is at a disadvantage, they will not abandon their family and business to help Ji Shengqing, but when the two sides are holding each other, they might as well be a bystander or secretly help.

Yu Kaizhou is stupid, but his behavior of treating tens of thousands of troops as nothing made Ren Shuai and others speechless for a while, and today's morale has been broken. Ren Shuai decided to go back to the camp to rest, and tomorrow the whole army will besiege it, and it is necessary to defeat this De'an City.

In Ren Shuai's tent, the atmosphere was a little awkward, they tried their best to avoid casualties, but they had the opposite result, if the war started, they ordered the whole army to rush to the siege equipment such as ladders in large numbers, and then surrounded on all sides. The casualties in De'an City will not be much different from today.

"Xiaoyun, otherwise, you will take the Yulin Army and the First and Second Armies of the Black Panther to attack Wuchuan City in the back overnight, and I will leave it to me here. ”

"If you want to go, it's better to leave the whole army and hand over this place to General Yu in the back. Li Xiaoyun said.

"Then do our brothers still have the face to go out to meet people?" Ren Shuai asked rhetorically.

"General Ren, if you delay the general's set date. We're even more shameless! ”

Ren Shuai couldn't help but pause, Li Xiaoyun's words just stabbed him in the heart: "Xiaoyun, what do you mean. ”

"Two ways, one is that we attack the city with all our strength and defeat De'an, presumably the defenders of Wuchuan will not dare to resist stubbornly, and the other is that we will pull out the camp overnight, leave an army here, cooperate with General Yu's rear army, and wait until De'an City is defeated. We have also occupied Wuchuan Castle. There won't be a long delay. ”

Ren Shuai pondered, in all fairness, neither is a good way. It's hard to make a decision for a while.

"General, the last general has something to say, I don't know if to say it or not?" Guan Shengzhi suddenly spoke. Guan Shengzhi was very unlucky during this period of time, he was seriously injured in the decisive battle of the Luling Plain, which was just a good thing, and when he escaped just now, he was doused with boiling oil sprinkled on the city, but fortunately he was not poured on his head and neck, but only on his left arm, but he was also burned out of a big blood blister.

"Say!" Ren Shuai came to the spirit, he has a deep understanding of his lieutenant general, Guan Shengzhi is a very witty and careful person, when the Royal Praetorian Guard attacked Hongzhou a year ago, it was Guan Shengzhi who was the first to show traces and pulled the Tianwei Army out of danger.

"When the last general entered the city just now, most of the houses inside are wooden pavilions, and now the sky is dry. Guan Shengzhi didn't finish his words, he believed that several generals would understand what he meant.

Ren Shuai, Li Xiaoyun and others were all silent, the sky is dry, and it is advisable to attack with fire is a truth that everyone knows, if there is a fire in De'an City, the standing army will inevitably panic, and the overnight attack is likely to fall in one go, the problem is not whether it can defeat De'an, but the fire attack will inevitably bring heavy casualties to the people in the city, and the money is now bent on buying people's hearts, who will bear the responsibility when the time comes? Guan Shengzhi's method is a good way, but from another point of view, it is a stupid way to find death.

Guan Shengzhi saw that no one talked, he was a little anxious, and continued: "General, according to the last general, Yu Kaizhou has already driven the young and middle-aged people in the whole city to help in the war, the defenders are at most about 3,000 people, Yu Kaizhou does not dare to transfer the defenders of other city gates, general, you do the math, there are some people left on the city to make a appearance to deceive our eyes and ears, and there will be an ambush in the city, and the sacks they use to block the city gate are not nearly a thousand, right?" Where did those sacks come from? ”

When defending the city, it is common to drive the people to the city to help in the war, and it cannot be a reason for the jade to be burned, Ren Shuai and the others are still silent.

"General, we have been delayed for a day today, even if we can take De'an City tomorrow, we still have to delay for a day, is the general sure that he will take Tongzhou Mansion within three days? If the general loses his troops and loses his troops to defeat the Tongzhou Mansion, he will be punished by the general, and if the general fails to take the Tongzhou Mansion as planned, he will delay the military aircraft, and he will be punished by the general! The military situation is urgent, and there can be no delay for a moment, general! ”

Ren Shuai took a breath, the task left to him by Qian Buli was really too difficult, even if he didn't fight, according to Qian Buli's designated route, in order to maintain the soldier's combat strength, he would need fifteen days to march to the border of Pennsylvania, in other words, he only had five days of freedom, and if he wasted one day in this one place, it would take one day less to attack the heavily garrisoned Tongzhou Mansion.

"General, the wind is very strong now, if it drags on, in case of heavy rain, even if the general wants to attack with fire!"

Ren Shuai slowly raised his head: "Yunlong, how far can your catapult hit?" ”

"More than 700 meters, just that kind of lever catapult will break down after a few uses. Tang Yunlong replied, for the word 'leverage', Tang Yunlong has always been called unfavorable, always called a lever.
