Chapter 50: The Decisive Battle (3)
In order to cooperate with the Yuezhou side to attack Han Yuan, Bai Junwu led an army of 30,000 to attack all the way to the vicinity of Dafangpo outside Dongning City, only to find that the battle line was too long and the logistics supply could not keep up. So the army was stationed on the spot, waiting for the arrival of the grain army, and watching the next move in Yuezhou.
At this point in the battle, Bai Junwu's feeling is getting worse and worse. He vaguely realized that the foreign forces in Yuezhou, which originally belonged to the guest army, gradually turned against the guest in this war, and originally planned to let the other party cooperate and besiege the Korean won according to his own plan, but now he is cooperating with the other party.
What annoyed Bai Junwu the most was that he had been to Dafangpo for so many days, and the envoys who contacted Yuezhou sent one after another, but Yuezhou didn't know what idea he had, as if he was deliberately perfunctory, and he had refused to join him.
How would Bai Junwu know that at this moment, the main force of the Yuezhou army was recuperating in the state city, and the envoys he sent were all Han Yuan's subordinates stationed outside the city. In the name of the Yuezhou Army, these people contacted each other with the people sent by Bai Junwu, and it can be said that all the envoys of Bai Junwu have seen these days are some drama spirits.
Of course, there are many real Yuezhou people among Han Yuan's subordinates. Han Yuan wanted to act, and Yuezhou naturally fully cooperated, so none of Bai Junwu's envoys saw the flaw.
Soon after, Bai Junwu received a notice from the generals of Yuezhou, and the 30,000 troops of Yuezhou asked him to rush to the city of Dongning immediately and surround the Han Yuan army that had been hiding in the city.
This announcement came in a hurry, and Bai Junwu couldn't help but have doubts. But he was afraid that if he delayed for a long time this time, not only would Yuezhou's side be disappointed, but his subordinates would also be angry. So after thinking about it again, he still decided to become a teacher. The two armies together have 60,000 soldiers and horses, so why should they be afraid of more than 30,000 won?
Bai Junwu didn't know that Han Yuan already had 40,000 soldiers and horses, and even if he knew, he was afraid that he would still have to send troops, and the situation was pressing.
…
For the won, it was a must-win game. As he expected, Bai Junwu finally took the bait.
In fact, the number of people sent by Yuezhou to Chuzhou this time was only 10,000. As for these 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, the five brigade generals in Yuezhou were temporarily put together, and no one was in charge of anyone, and there was no coordinated leader with each other.
Bai Junwu would never have thought that of the 30,000 Yuezhou troops who would join him, 20,000 of them were Han won's people. If he knew the truth, he didn't know what his expression would be.
Dongning City, the capital city of a government. The height of its city and the strength of its structure are comparable to those of the state city. The only thing that doesn't compare to the state city is the size of its land and the prosperity of the city.
Bai Junwu led the crowd to the city of Dongning, observed the other armies from a distance, and immediately realized that something was wrong. With his intuition, he could feel that these allied forces in front of him, whether it were their mental outlook or army order, were not like the border troops from the north, but more like the southerners.
To be on the safe side, he did not rush to the crowd, but first sent a few of his subordinates to ride over to contact them.
Han Yuan was sitting on a tall horse opposite Bai Junwu at this time, and when he saw that Bai Junwu was suspicious, he immediately asked a few Qiu Ba from Yuezhou to go over to appease Bai Junwu's heart.
"Brother Han, let me meet him!"
A person from the Yuezhou border army volunteered, and after that, he patted the horse and left.
Han Won secretly admired in his heart. This person is not very old, but he is nearly eight feet tall, burly, and looks very energetic.
"I've seen the little grandfather! I don't know if the little grandfather still remembers it? In the lower Jinzhou Yongning Mansion, Zhang Brigade will command the Xuanzi Battalion to unify the capital, Yao Yilong! ”
The Yuezhou capital came to Bai Junwu's formation, and saluted Bai Junwu.
"Oh, it turned out to be Yao Dutong! I heard your name early, and when I met today, I was really dignified and heroic. ”
Bai Junwu looked at Yao Yilong with satisfaction and said with serious approval. In fact, he had never heard of this person at all, but he still knew that Zhang Lujiang of Jinju Yongning Mansion was indeed surnamed Zhang and called Zhang Kui.
Looking at Yao Yilong's appearance and demeanor, it should be true that he is from Yuezhou, but Bai Junwu still asked with some doubts:
"Yao Dutong, this commander looks at your Yuezhou army, most of them are black and thin, short in stature, like a southerner, why is this?"
Yao Yilong laughed and said, "Little grandfather, oh no, it's Marshal Bai." Look at what you said, there is no shortage of such people among your subordinates. ”
Bai Junwu asked: "I have recruited 10,000 new southerners from Chuzhou, could it be that you are the same in Yuezhou?" ”
"As Bai Shuai expected, we have recruited a lot of new southern soldiers in Yuezhou, and this time we beat Han won, so we just asked them to come over to practice their hands." Yao Yilong's face did not change.
Bai Junwu nodded, not doubting him. An army of 30,000 was thus brought by him to the "allies".
"Attack the city now!"
When Bai Junwu was still stunned, Yuezhou suddenly issued an order to attack the city, and then tens of thousands of troops rushed to attack Dongning City.
Bai Junwu's eyes widened, and he only felt that something was very wrong in his heart, why didn't he inform himself in advance if he wanted to attack the city? Attacking Dongning City so abruptly, I am afraid that there will be heavy losses. He hurriedly ordered his subordinates not to act rashly and to see the progress of Yuezhou first.
Bai Junwu wouldn't know that in fact, both the siege and the defense of the city were acting for him now. In order to play more realistically, the two sides roared like thunder, and there were countless casualties.
"Marshal! The generals of Yuezhou let our army assist them in attacking! A messenger said to Bai Junwu.
Bai Junwu shook his head and said to the messenger: "Pass on my commander's order, the officers and soldiers of all brigades, without my permission, they must not act rashly, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”
The messenger looked at him puzzled, and finally took the order to retreat.
Of course, Bai Junwu is not a fool, all this in front of him is too unreasonable. Yuezhou is an army of a hundred battles, in the past in Jinju to pacify the border troubles, resist the Kun people, no dangerous and vicious battles have been fought, how can it be like now, fight such a chaotic and confused war.
"Lord Marshal! Why not immediately send troops to attack the city? If the Yuezhou side captures Dongning in advance, then we will lose face and go home! ”
"Yes! My lord! Please give the order to fight! The brothers have long wanted to have a great fight! ”
In front of Bai Junwu, several subordinates dismounted one after another to ask him for battle.
Bai Junwu rode on the horse and said lightly: "You are all old men of the border army, you should know better than me." For our northern army, it is a hundred times more difficult to storm a city than a field battle. I bet that those people in Yuezhou will never be able to defeat Dongning City, if you don't believe it, you can wait and see what happens. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the messenger suddenly brought a message that made his face turn green.
"Marshal! Marshal! The Yuezhou army has already attacked Dongning City! They sent our troops out as fast as possible to cooperate with them in street fighting! ”
"What!" Bai Junwu only felt that his cheeks were hot, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
He only felt that all the tactics and strategies he had learned over the years were all farts of the ancients.
The generals held back their laughter and whispered to him:
"Marshal, do you think it's time to send troops?"
"Yes, my lord, if you don't send troops, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get any oil and water."
Bai Junwu grimaced, waved his hand, and acquiesced to his subordinates' request.
The 30,000-strong army immediately rushed to Dongning City like wild horses on the loose. One side of the gate of Dongning City has been broken open by the Vietnamese army, and everyone has flocked to the open gate.
These soldiers wielding weapons and running wildly, I am afraid that no one would have thought that Dongning City would be their burial place.
