Chapter Ninety-Nine: Chen Zhiqing's Concerns
Sure enough, in less than half a day, the southern Qin army was dispatched, and without waiting for the trebuchet from Ruoxian, they began to attack the southern part of Xiangcheng.
Although Shouwang Huanyu had already made arrangements for the Nancheng side, he underestimated Chen Zhiqing's obsession with Xiangcheng, almost one after the other, and tens of thousands of people were like worker ants who were not afraid of death, flooding the southern city of Xiangcheng.
Huan Ping, the second son of Shou Wang Huan Yu, is brave and brave compared to his brother Huan Xing, and what is even more rare and valuable is that his teacher inherited the military division Ma Liang, compared with Huan Xing, there are more ways of the art of war.
The generals of the Shouwang Army around him, Zhan Lei, Jiao Hua and others were all strictly defended, but they were broken through the defense line by the Qin army several times.
"General, light the wolf smoke and inform King Shou!"
Seeing that his side was gradually at a disadvantage, Jiao reminded Huan Pingdao.
After all, Huan Ping is not a bloody and unscrupulous person, after learning about his own situation, he nodded and replied: "Light the beacon fire and inform the father!" ”
"Please also ask the son to retreat to the rear!" On the other side, Zhan Zheng also reminded that King Shou only had two sons, and the eldest son Huan Xing was said to have fallen into the hands of the enemy in Linfang, and the second son Huan Ping must not lose!
Huan Ping didn't appreciate it, but looked at Zhan with an annoyed face, and said angrily: "General Zhan, is this humiliating me?" ”
"How could it be ......" Zhan Lei said: "I just don't want Zijiang to have any mistakes here, otherwise I won't be able to wait for King Shou to explain!" ”
"Confess?!" Huan Ping sneered and replied: "The Huan clan has never been afraid of war, if I am afraid to retreat, it will be difficult to explain to my father!" ”
Then Huan Ping said loudly and angrily: "The soldiers of the Shouwang Army, defend Xiangcheng!" ”
"Defend Xiangcheng!"
"Ho Ho Ho !!"
Huan Ping, as the son of King Shou, is sticking to the head of Nancheng City, and now most of the soldiers and soldiers of King Shou here have come out of Jingdi, and they have experienced a lot of battles all the way, how can they be afraid of war? !
Among them, many of them were veterans who followed King Shou from the Battle of Yingdu that year, and they were all angry at the moment, and they directly rushed to the Qin soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city with their swords.
Because of his frailty, Chen Zhiqing did not personally lead the troops to fight, but stood on a small hill in Xiangcheng and watched the offensive and defensive battles of Xiangcheng from a distance.
Tang Pestle, the guard general who ensured Chen Zhiqing's safety beside him, also reminded Chen Zhiqing: "General, after all, the Shouwang Army is an army of a hundred battles, and if you attack the city like this, our army will be seriously damaged!" ”
Chen Zhiqing's face was flat, he should have expected this, but he slowly asked: "Tang Pestle, do you know why you want to fill this Xiangcheng with the life of the Deng people?" ”
Tang Pestle was a little surprised, he really couldn't imagine why General Chen, who loved soldiers like a son, said this, and replied with some smuggling at the moment: "Is it to recapture Xiangcheng?" ”
"I can't do it anymore...... Relying on Deng Ren's words alone, "Chen Zhiqing has realized that Deng Ren's bloodiness is gradually cooling, on the other hand, Shou Wangjun's army is becoming more and more courageous."
"Inside Xiangcheng, there is the temple of the royal family...... I want the ancestors of the royal family to see how their underground spirits will react to the Xiangcheng and the people who used to be used for their pleasure in the old days! ”
The general said this...... It's a bit blasphemous to the royal family......," Yuki said.
"Blasphemy ......" Chen Zhiqing smiled coldly, and then said: "The recovery of Xiangcheng is my explanation to the royal family...... As for the Deng people, I also have to give them an explanation. ”
Hearing this, Tang Pestle was surprised: "The general's words...... Are you planning to take refuge in the Qin people?! ”
Chen Zhiqing nodded silently.
"This ...... How to face the royal family?! ”
"Who else is in the royal family? There is a flood beast in the south, and the Deng people need to have a way out! ”
Tang Pestle still defended: "Isn't Gongzi Xu still in the Qin State, isn't it okay to welcome back Gongzi Xu back to Xiangcheng as the king, Gongzi Xu has always had a mastermind, and he can't revive Deng Guo!" ”
"It's late...... The Qin people will inevitably not send troops if they are not profitable, and Gongzi Xu has already dedicated all the land of Deng to Qin to Qin in order to mobilize Qin to send troops...... I'm afraid that as early as when the Qin State sent troops, Gongzi Xu was already helpless? ”
"This ......" Tang Pestle still couldn't believe it: "Could it be that the Qin people still dare to kill Gongzi Xu?" ”
"It's not ......," Chen Zhiqing added: "However, there are still ways for the Qin people to let Gongzi die of illness or die violently, and it depends on Nanjun...... Especially for those of us who are Deng. ”
"General...... Please be clear! ”
Tang Pestle obviously has some concern for the Deng royal family.
Chen Zhiqing said slowly: "The Qin people sent troops, it must be to annex the land of Nanjun of Deng State, naturally it is impossible to see the power of the Deng people grow, I have gathered 60,000 troops along the way, and almost all the young and strong people of the Deng people are in their hands." ”
Then Chen Zhiqing slowly turned his head to look at Tang Pestle and asked, "If you are from Qin, you are ...... It's that Qin Gongzi, will you rest assured? ”
Then, Chen Zhiqing asked and answered himself: "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly...... I have already guessed that this Great Qin prince used the army of the Han Shui Zhu Ji Relics as the intention of attacking Xiangcheng, and it was nothing more than to empty the soldiers in the hands of the Han Shui Zhu Ji Relics. ”
Tang Pestle was puzzled: "Since the general has already guessed the intention of that Great Qin Prince...... How could the general's intelligence fall into such a trap?! ”
Chen Zhiqing laughed at himself: "This Great Qin Gongzi is using a yang scheme, this Xiangcheng is going to let us Deng people spill blood after all...... The backbone of the Deng people needs to be resisted by the Deng people themselves, and the Qin people have done enough...... And again......"
Chen Zhiqing wanted to speak again and again, but finally said his intentions: "The current loss of Xiangcheng is also to answer the question of the prince of Qin that day, that is, the Deng people are willing to surrender to the Qin State. ”
"General! This is a big matter, why don't you discuss it with other generals?! ”
Chen Zhiqing shook his head: "There is not much difference between discussing and not negotiating...... There are more than 60,000 people in the army of the remnants of the Hanshui Zhuji, but the lifeline has been pinched by the Qin people! ”
Tang Pestle is not a blind person after all, Chen Zhiqing is a little thorough, Tang Pestle knows what it means, and immediately asked: "The general refers to grain and grass?" ”
Chen Zhiqing nodded silently.
Tang Pestle only then understood that since Linfu joined forces with the remnants of the Hanshui Zhuji clan in Nanjun, the number of entourages has skyrocketed, but correspondingly, the daily surplus soldiers consume not a small number of food.
The food of our army had already run out of food in the Linfu Mountain.
Sure enough, at the beginning, the lifeblood of the Hanshui Zhuji was pinched by the Qin people!
Tang Pestle couldn't help but secretly clench his fists......
Seeing that his soldiers on the battlefield had gradually lost their enterprising spirit due to casualties, and seeing the wolf smoke of King Shou's army rising, Chen Zhiqing also sighed faintly: "Mingjin retreats...... The casualties of the Deng people should have followed the intentions of that Qin Gongzi here. ”
