Chapter 209: Sudden Change in the Storm (1)
Outside the north gate of Yunlong City, the seat of Yunlong County, the dense camp of the Nanyi army occupies the entire outside of the city, but the order of the camp is extremely chaotic, and groups of Nanyi soldiers can be seen everywhere outside the camp coming and going at will, or pulling a large amount of supplies, or escorting the captive Han women.
"Come on! Come! Come! Drink! ”
At the main tent of the Chinese army in the camp, Ren Gui, who was drunk, held a wine glass in his hand and shouted at the generals in the tent.
Since the march into Yunlong County, Ren Guijun has been smooth sailing except for a few times in the siege, and the army of more than 100,000 people has been divided into dozens of roads and almost robbed the entire Yunlong County, and a large number of materials have been transported back to the base camp every day.
Two days ago, Ren Gui sent people to make a rough count, and the value of gold and silver looted in Yunlong County alone exceeded 500,000 taels of gold, all of which were left by the people who could not retreat, as well as countless valuable utensils and treasures, which can be seen from the wealth of the people under the rule of the southern palace.
And the more than 100,000 Nanyi troops under Ren Gui's command are different from the hundreds of thousands of professional soldiers under Sima Yu's command, he doesn't need to pay them salaries, he only needs to fill in their stomachs, and the food looted during this period alone is probably enough to be self-sufficient.
Therefore, the goal expected by Ren Gui in this dispatch has already been successfully accomplished, which is also the reason why he is unwilling to lead his troops to fight to the death with the defenders in the city.
It has been nearly 10 days since the Nanyi army invaded Yunlong County, but the southern royal army has never organized an effective counterattack.
In the past two days, Ren Gui has completely relaxed, drinking and having fun with the generals of the army every day, thinking that he can return to the division after two more days of looting in Yunlong County. As for the royal capital area, which is more affluent than Yunlong County, Ren Gui has no idea at all.
He knew in his heart that more than 100,000 Nanyi troops radiating to one county was already their limit, and he was content to be able to keep the current harvest.
With this gain, his dominance over the entire Gongzhou was completely solidified.
"Report! King, there is an urgent report from Yunbei City! ”
Just as Ren Gui and a group of generals in the army were drinking in the women's tent, a Nanyi soldier rushed into the camp and reported
"Oh? But Ren Chang's kid took Yunbei City! ”
Ren Gui's eyes lit up when he heard this, let go of the woman in his arms and sat up.
Although Ren Gui was unwilling to spend his troops on the city defended by the southern royal army, he had been greedy for the wealth in the city for a long time.
Yunbei City is an important town in the central and southern part of Yunlong County, there are thousands of county soldiers and tens of thousands of people in the city, and the wealth gathered in the city is probably even more amazing, could it be that his nephew Ren Chang really brought him a surprise?
"Back to the king, the army was raided by the enemy cavalry in Yunbei City, and General Ren Chang was killed on the spot by the enemy general, and the army has been defeated!"
The Nanyi soldiers knelt in the tent with their heads bowed and said sadly.
"Smack!"
"What!"
The jade cup in Ren Gui's hand fell to the ground, and the look on his face froze instantly, standing in place in disbelief.
The Nanyi generals who were playing in the hall also stopped their movements, and looked at Ren Gui with a suspicious expression, and for a while, the whole hall could hear the needle falling, and there was silence.
The stagnant atmosphere in the air made the Nanyi soldiers who sent the message bury their heads lower, and cold sweats continued to flow, for fear that Ren Gui would be angry and cut him off to vent his anger, and it was not the first time in the army.
"Haha, I'm a little drunk, help me down!"
After a long while, the expression on Ren Gui's face recovered, and he beckoned to the maids on both sides with a reluctant smile on his face.
"Congratulations to the king!"
All the generals in the hall also sobered up from their drunkenness, and they knelt down and said goodbye.
It wasn't until after Ren Gui left that the generals in the hall glanced at each other, lost their interest in talking, and immediately got up and left.
The news of the defeat of Ren Changbu in Yunbei City was like a basin of cold water poured on everyone's hearts, they were not saddened by Ren Chang's death and distressed by the tens of thousands of Nanyi troops who died.
It's the meaning behind this incident that makes people tremble!
You must know that yesterday, before Ren Chang's defeat, some people in the army suggested that several people in the south of Yunlong County had lost contact, and Ren Gui and others didn't care at that time.
But now Ren Chang, which is located in the central and southern regions, has been defeated, and I am afraid that the people and horses who lost contact before are also more than auspicious, and these people and horses plus Ren Chang's army have more than 40,000 people, and they have been quietly defeated.
How many troops did the other side dispatch? Why didn't the deserters come to report?
Actually, this is what they want to do, it's not that these defeated deserters don't want to report, but it's too late.
The main reason is that the speed of He Bayun's march is too fast, and the scattered deserters can run through the cavalry with clear goals in a panic, and when they come to the next assembly point of the Nanyi army, they find that they have also been routed, and many people dare to flee indiscriminately, for fear of encountering the enemy, and the speed is naturally slower under caution.
Unknown enemies are the most terrifying!
It's time to evacuate!
For a while, this thought surged into the hearts of all the generals of Ren Guijun at the same time.
Thundered~
On the third day, when He Bayun led thousands of northern army iron cavalry to the outside of Yunlong City, the Nanyi army outside the city had already been empty, and only Luo Chengxiang, the county guard of Yunlong County, led a group of county officials waiting there with a happy face.
Although Yunlong County is an upper county, there are only 2,000 soldiers in the entire county, but they have to guard thirteen cities in the county, facing the invasion of more than 100,000 Nanyi troops, the pressure on Luo Chengxiang and others can be imagined.
Fortunately, there are still a large number of tens of thousands of sets of ordnance that were retained when the Ainengqi forces were extinguished in the county government, plus some emergency ordnance urgently transported by the Southern Palace, and tens of thousands of young men were also equipped, which barely withstood several waves of attacks by the Nanyi army. But after all, these young men are not regular troops with long-term training, and they cannot last long.
Arriving in Yunlong City, when he found out that Ren Guijun had evacuated two days ago, He Bayun couldn't help but cry and laugh.
He didn't expect that his series of raids would actually scare away tens of thousands of Nanyi troops like this! The task given to him by Hu Luguang is to delay Ren Guijun, how can he deal with it now.
I can only hope that the battle on the general's side goes well!
There was no way, He Bayun had no choice but to lead a large army to stop at Yunlong County, and at the same time sent Hu Chuquan to lead 2,000 cavalry to pursue Ren Gui's army.
This time, more than 100,000 Nanyi troops almost scraped the land of Yunlong County, how could they return with the people's materials so easily.
On the other hand, He Bayun also personally led his troops to begin to recruit and suppress the fleeing Nanyi army in the county, and assisted the county guard Luo Chengxiang to restore the livelihood of Yunlong County and stabilize the law and order in the county.
Wangcheng, the palace of the southern king, in the palace of Concubine Li Manxin, Sima Yu held his head with both hands and pillowed on Li Manxin's white and tender thighs, his feet were lying in the arms of Ah Liansang on the side, and his mouth kept opening his mouth to follow the grapes peeled by Liu Yunling himself, which was so comfortable.
The faces of the three girls were all flushed, and there was an aura floating in the air that was easy to deviate from people's thoughts.
This is the life Sima Yu wants!
In Jinzhou, he fought with Kong Youde and Gaoding for several months, and Sima Yu, who came back from holding back the fire, naturally wanted to vent well.
In addition, now it is claimed that Sima Yu is still leading troops in Jinzhou to fight against Gaoding's 400,000 Nanyi army, and he is simply happy to hide directly in the palace of Li Manxin and Ah Liansang, who are still nominally imprisoned, and summon Liu Yunling to be ridiculous together.
"Gongsun Shu of the north is coercing Ren Guijun, Qiong, and Zhen with a total of 500,000 troops to make trouble in the three northern counties, so you are not worried at all?"
The jade hand sent a grape into Sima Yu's mouth, looking at Sima Yu, who looked like a debaucherous and immoral monarch, Liu Yunling, who had a delicate face, glanced at him angrily.
"Worried? For this battle, Zini and Jingluo have been planning for several months, and the three armies of the south, the north, and the east and the six battalions of the Chinese army have gathered in the north, what else do I have to worry about, the result of this battle is already doomed before the start of the battle, but the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, how much success can be achieved depends on Ning Yu! ”
Sima Yu was disdainful when he heard this, and he looked like a treasure, and he didn't need to hide too much in front of his beloved woman.
