Chapter 269: Bai Mengqi's strategy
"Hmph, pass the order to Lu Xinghai, all the soldiers in Jiaozhou have entered a state of readiness, ready to fight at any time to meet the Tianluo army." Jiang Huanchu's face softened slightly, and he finally didn't want to be forced to sign a contract with the city.
"Your Majesty, please be cautious, although Gang Master Lu can fight, judging from his battle report, the combat effectiveness of the Tianluo Sect Navy is not below us, and even the performance of their warships has surpassed ours. If we have to fight them again, our odds may not be high. Tian Wuji stopped him, and he was the only one in the Manchu Dynasty who dared to go against Emperor Qi's wishes.
"Listening to the general's meaning, do you want me to agree to the peace of the Tianluo Sect? If I remember correctly, you were the one who persuaded me to unite with Wei to attack the Tianluo Sect in the first place. Although Jiang Huan Chu restrained his anger, his tone was still dissatisfied.
Tian Wuji smiled bitterly: "At this time and that time, the reason why we sent troops at the beginning was because we and the Wei State felt that we could have a quick victory, but I didn't expect the Tianluo Sect to be so tenacious, and it could resist attacks from six directions at the same time, and among them, it could also win on two battlefields." ”
"Yes, the Tianluo Sect is about to turn the defense into an attack, Ning Buqu, who is stationed in Guangyuan City, defeated Wu Shuang a few days ago, and is now preparing to attack Shaozhou in Wei, and their naval army is also going to counterattack our Jiaozhou and Beihai. There is a Lu gang leader in Jiaozhou, and the problem is not big, but Beihai City is dangerous. Da Sima Xin echoed.
"But if we accept the peace of the Tianluo Sect alone, wouldn't that be a breach of trust in the Wei State? What will the world say about us? Prime Minister Song Chong has a different view.
"What does the prime minister mean that this battle has to continue?" Xin Shoujian asked with some confusion.
Tian Wuji also looked at Song Chong with puzzlement, he and Xin Shouji were both military generals, and they knew in their hearts that there would be no progress in this battle if they continued to fight, and there was still a danger of losing Beihai Port.
Song Chong explained: "I understand what the two mean, from the military level, the two of them are not wrong, but in the longer run, it is very inappropriate to accept the proposal. Not to mention that the impact of losing faith in the world is extremely bad, just offending the Wei State, we will not have the possibility of cooperation in the future, and the Tianluo Sect can be left and right, he can unite us to fight the Wei State, or he can unite the Wei State to fight us, no matter how you choose, it will be extremely unfavorable to the other country. ”
"What the prime minister said is right, this war was launched by us and the Wei State, and if we want to accept the peace, we must accept it together, otherwise it will leave security risks in the future." Jiang Huan Chu thought about it seriously for a long time and decided to adopt Song Chong's opinion.
Tian Wuji saw that Jiang Huanchu had already made a decision, so he no longer insisted: "Then according to what Your Majesty and the Prime Minister said, the war will continue." However, the local strategy has to be adjusted, and the Gang Leader Lu must be invited to go out of the mountain in person to meet Huang Songsheng. At the same time, the Beihai port was temporarily closed, and all the warships were pulled to Jiaozhou, and heavy troops were sent to guard the beach to prevent Ni Yun from landing. ”
Speaking of this, Tian Wuji turned to Jiang Huan Chu and continued: "The minister asks for an order to secretly go to the battlefield in Nanjun to replace Tian Kangyou, the guardian of the Tianluo Sect in Nanjun is Xiao Yu, the second prince of the Song Kingdom, and the minister is sure to take him within a month." ”
"Okay, the general is willing to go in person, I agree, I hope the general can settle the battle in one battle." Jiang Huan Chu was overjoyed when he heard this.
"As for the envoy of the Tianluo Sect, please don't meet him yet, let him stay at the post station for a while, and see the situation on the battlefield next before making plans." Song Chong proposed again.
"Okay, I'll listen to the Prime Minister's arrangement."
Just when Tian Wuji quietly rushed to Nanjun, Ling Zhen also set off from Rongcheng. Shi Luosheng knew Jiang Huanchu too well, and knew that he would not be willing to accept peace, and if he wanted to change the current situation, he could only defeat himself on the battlefield of Nanjun.
In terms of the water army, the Qi State has no chance of winning. And in Hanzhong, Sun Zhongmou will not be too inferior to Tian Wuji, he can't defeat Liu Zixuan and Wang Lun, so it's still difficult to replace others.
The remaining Nanjun became the only breakthrough, Tian Wuji thought that as long as it was not Shi Luosheng himself, then the others would not be afraid, but he didn't expect that in the Tianluo Sect, there was also a Ling Zhen who had barely appeared on the battlefield.
The situation on the Wei side seems to be much better than that of the Qi State, Zhou Yunjing and Xun Yuqing fought to a draw, and although Wu Shuang was defeated and retreated to Shaozhou, it was not so easy for Ning Bu to break the city. The remaining Deng Wenhao has already defeated Gao Kegong, and the entire territory of Qingzhou has been taken by him, and he is now preparing to attack Jizhou.
"Seven cities in fifteen days, now Deng Wenhao is the same as Jiang Huanyan of Qi State, and the people of Wei State call him the God of War." In Bazhou City, Gao Kegong reported the current battle situation to Bai Mengqi with a slight dissatisfaction.
It has been two months since Bai Mengqi returned to Qindi, and during this time he has been secretly commanding behind Gao Kegong, and let him continue to feign defeat and retreat, achieving the name of Deng Wenhao's god of war.
"It seems that General Gao is very unhappy, hahaha, don't worry, the Wei army is about to be defeated, and there will be an opportunity to make you angry." Bai Mengqi teased.
"The general means we can fight back?" Gao Kegong's eyes lit up when he heard this, although he didn't care much about his reputation, but after losing for several months, he would be a little embarrassed to lose face.
Bai Mengqi nodded, pointed to the location of the red heart on the map and said, "We only need General Gao to defeat again in the end and introduce Deng Wenhao into Changshan, and we can completely annihilate the Wei army." ”
"Great, I've lost so many times, and losing again is nothing." Gao Kegong swept away the frustration just now, and began to excitedly discuss the final deployment with Bai Mengqi.
"Gao Kegong, I didn't expect you to dare to fight after losing so many times, if you lose again today, Nabazhou will be in danger, then see how you explain to my righteous brother Shi Luosheng, why don't I give you another chance and surrender to us, anyway, when the Chu State was destroyed, you also surrendered." In front of the two armies, Deng Wenhao saw Gao Kegong sneering again.
"Deng Wenhao, don't be complacent, you framed me for killing the monarch and caused me to be removed from the family, one day I will kill you with my own hands and use your blood to wash away my shame." Gao Kegong hated the Deng father and son to the core, and naturally there would be no good words when they met.
"Hahaha, if you really want to kill me so much, then go back to sleep. Because in the real world, you won't have that chance. After that, Deng Wenhao didn't want to bother to say more, so he led the army to rush over directly.
The two fought together again, Deng Wenhao's martial arts came from the Heavenly Sword Gate, how could Gao Kegong be his opponent, this time the two still only fought for more than 30 rounds, and Gao Kegong was defeated and fled.
Deng Wenhao has been holding his breath in his heart, don't look at him every time he wins the battle, but he has never caught Gao Kegong once, this time he secretly made up his mind that he must be captured alive, and then slowly tortured.
Gao Kegong fled all the way into Changshan with the remnants of the army, and Deng Wenhao chased after him. But what he didn't know was that while he was pursuing, Bai Mengqi let his eldest son Bai Yuze raid his rear with a light cavalry force of 20,000 people, cutting off the Wei army's way back.
At the same time, he asked his second son Bai Weiqi to bring a heavy cavalry of 5,000 people, which was directly inserted into the middle of the Wei army, dividing the main force of the Wei army into two isolated troops.
When Deng Wenhao first found out that there was an ambush, he didn't pay much attention to it, but just sent a cavalry to intercept it, but after the battle, he realized that something was wrong, and the cavalry unit he sent was actually wiped out.
Just when Deng Wenhao was about to personally lead his troops to intercept and kill, Gao Kegong suddenly turned his horse's head and led the army to counterattack.
Deng Wenhao had no choice but to fight first. After such a delay, Bai Mengqi had already completed the final encirclement, and his troops rushed towards the Wei army in three ways.
The formation of the Wei army was scattered at once, and Deng Wenhao did not dare to fight, so he hurriedly ordered a breakthrough. But the way to retreat has long been blocked by Bai Yuze and his people, and the Wei army has failed several times.
In desperation, Deng Wenhao was forced to build a barrier on the spot and turn it into defense to wait for rescue.
But the Wei army came out this time with the intention of directly attacking Bazhou, and they didn't think that they would be surrounded, so they only brought half a day's rations with each person, even if the Tiandaomen masters in the army could escape and ask for help. By the time reinforcements arrived, it would have been a month later.
Deng Wenhao never dreamed that he was thinking about taking Sucheng within half a year yesterday, but after only one night, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, not only was the whole army surrounded, but it was difficult to say whether his life could be saved.
Of course, he refused to give in, and organized several breakouts, but they all ended in failure.
Half a month passed, and the Wei army ate everything they could eat, not to mention the cavalry's war horses, and even all the bark and grass roots near the barracks were eaten clean. If it weren't for the two heavy rains in the middle, they wouldn't have been able to sustain the water alone.
"General, let's try again, you are strong in martial arts, leave us alone this time, kill yourself first." After discussing privately with several generals in the army, they came to find Deng Wenhao, and they decided to use their own death to kill the commander to find a way out.
Deng Wenhao sighed, did not refuse, and asked people to kill their war horses, distribute them to the soldiers and soldiers, and then fight to the death with Gao Kegong.
Although the whole army was ready to die, when it came time to actually fight, they found that it was completely different from what they thought.
Gao Kegong seemed to have guessed that they would make a last effort, and had already built a barrier with thick logs around the Wei army camp, and rows of crossbowmen and catapults stood behind the barrier, using the Wei soldiers as live targets.
By the time the Wei army rushed to the front of the barrier, the casualties had already exceeded two-thirds. The rest were also routed by the Tianluo army with an overwhelming superiority in forces.
"Deng Wenhao, I said that I would kill you with my own hands and wash away my shame with your blood, you won't forget, right?" Gao Kegong slowly walked out of the surrounding crowd, with a sarcastic sneer on the corner of his mouth.
