Chapter 261: The Battle of Jinan
Chapter 261: (Battle of Jinan)
From the first day of the siege battle to the second day of the siege, the soldiers under the command of Cheng Wenzhe have broken through the defense of the east gate of Jinan, Zhou Ang had to shrink his forces to abandon the entire urn city, retreat to the inner city and then defend the city, so that the soldiers of the southern battalion who have been stationed in the military camp went to the inner city of the east gate to defend the city under the order of Cheng Gongwu, and the inner city gate was piled up with countless pieces of wood, so that Cheng Wenzhe's purpose of attacking from the gate was completely frustrated, and the next night, A team of dead soldiers with fire oil imitated the appearance of Shangguan Yin Feng's soldiers and wanted to use fire to open the city gate, but they were found by the defenders on the city tower, although the fire spread, but it was still extinguished by the defenders with water, and none of those dead soldiers escaped.
On the third day, Cheng Wenzhe was in the camp of the Chinese army
At this moment, Liang Gong is sitting in the next position of Cheng Wenzhe, Cheng Wenzhe can capture the urn city all depends on Liang Gong's strategy, and now Liang Gong has done things for Cheng Wenzhe, which is also what Cheng Wenzhe is willing to see, as long as Jinan is taken, with the support of Liang Gong, the right prime minister, at least half of the officials in Qi are willing to support Cheng Wenzhe's ascension to the throne, and things will be much safer.
"Prime Minister, how do you say this inner city should be attacked?" Cheng Wenzhe's face was solemn, he didn't have much time, Cheng Qingzhi's army, Cheng Xi's summoning department and Cheng Pingzhong's department would all come back to help in the next few days, once they came back to help, it would be much more difficult to take Jinan.
"The king, the minister has a plan, but I don't know if the king dares to do it?" Liang Gong frowned and looked at Cheng Wenzhe and said mysteriously.
"Although."
"Qi River through the west gate into the city, if you want to trap the defenders, it is not possible, you can send a dead soldier with a knife to cut a hole in the wooden gate under the river hole, and then take advantage of the night to storm the inner city of the east gate, creating an illusion, so that a team of soldiers with good water nature sneak to the inner city, directly from the river to the east gate inner city, and then burst out, it will inevitably cause chaos on the defenders on the city tower, so that the siege troops can easily enter."
"Okay..."Cheng Wenzhe seemed to see a new hope, this strategy is unspeakable, many of his soldiers are very water-based, the reason is that Changyang County is close to the sea: "According to the prime minister's plan, go down immediately to arrange, and those who climb Jinan first will be the first to make the first contribution." ”
"No," shouted the generals in unison.
The town of the two realms, the underworld
At this moment, the underworld has become the temporary command place of Shangguan Yin Feng, and the two realms town gathered 30,000 people of Qian Menglong and Yuan Liang, and 30,000 people of Liang Xi, a total of more than 60,000 troops.
Shangguan Yin Feng also learned that Qian Menglong and they were late, and the Han army led the army to attack and harass Changqing County, so that the speed of reinforcements had to be slowed down.
"Are you saying that Zhang Bu of Langya is going to surrender to the Han army?" Shangguan Yin Feng looked solemnly at Liang Xi, who reported the situation.
And the reason why Liang Xi knew this was because of the scout guards under him, and the scout guards scattered in Langya County sent people back to send a message that Gai Yan's envoy went to Langya County, and judging from the various signs of Fan Wenhui before, Zhang Bu is likely to have surrendered to the Han army.
"Although Langya County only has 20,000 standing soldiers, the number of reserve soldiers is the largest in the entire Qi country, and the county is basically a soldier, if Zhang Bu promises benefits, he can gather 100,000 troops in a few days, which should not be underestimated." Liang Xi told Shangguan Yin Feng everything he knew.
"Although there are a lot of people, but the real combat power of this king is estimated to be the 20,000 soldiers, and the rest are good, don't be serious, just like this time Cheng Wenzhe's army is a glimpse, according to the news, the combat strength is less than 100,000 at most, and the remaining 100,000 are ready to join the army, which will only add trouble to him, don't forget Yuan Huan's defeat in Yanshan back then, it is relatively not a good thing to have more people." Shangguan Yin Feng said word by word, although there were many people, he was not optimistic about Zhang Bu at all, although Zhang Bu in history was a little powerful, but this kind of capricious villain had no big future at all.
"Lord Wang, if it is really as General Liang Xi said, Zhang Bu surrendered to the Han army, then what should we do?" Huang Long stood aside and couldn't help but ask.
This is also a big problem, if Zhang Bu chooses to take refuge in Liu Xuan, then the 100,000 troops of Langya County will also be a big trouble, in addition to the elements in the north of Shandong, the entire southern and eastern parts of Shandong will fall into huge civil strife.
"This Liu Xuanzhen will choose the time, the battle over Nanyang is in full swing, and now he is still in the mood to do things in Shandong, send someone to send a message to Xiliang, see what Tuoba Wenhong thinks, and do you want to form an alliance with us?" Shangguan Yin Feng couldn't help but shake his head, now the world is really a mess, the alliance of the Western Regions is attacking the Tuoba clan, and Liu Xuan is making a ghost in it, and now Shangguan Yin Feng is worried about whether Tuoba Wenhong can hold on until Shangguan Yin Feng finishes the matter in Shandong and then help him.
"Lord Wang, there is a letter from Nanyang." A captain of the Jinyi Guard respectfully held a letter in his hand, walked into the lobby and handed it to Shangguan Yin Feng.
Shangguan Yin Feng opened the letter and read it carefully, and after finishing it, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and handed the letter to Huang Long to read: "Hey, there is no way, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get out of this king." ”
"This..."Huang Long also sighed after reading the letter.
Then the rest of the generals read the letter, and those who knew each other sighed, and those who were not familiar with each other shook their heads.
"It's finally over... It's just a pity that such a famous general. Shangguan Yin Fengwu said to himself.
A month ago, in February of the second year of Fengtian, Sima Xin, who had been isolated in Longmen Pass, was surrounded by Liu Jing and Liu Xuanhan's army, Longmen Pass had been besieged until February when the grain and grass were exhausted, and the generals under the account rebelled, and the switch led the Han army into the pass, Sima Xin and his son Sima Guang both died in battle with Longmen Pass, and the 100,000 troops under his command were less than 60,000 during the war, and more than 40,000 descended, and the rest were either killed or escaped from the chaos. After several failed surrenders, he moved to kill, and the main attacking troops were mainly Liu Jing, the army of the King of Qin.
The four famous generals of the He Jing period are now only He Ying and Ouyang Qing who are still serving in Shangguan Yin Feng's army, and Murong Ba and Sima Xin both died, which can be regarded as worthy of their title of famous general.
"Does Sima Xin's family in Nanyang have children?" Shangguan Yin Feng turned his head to look at Huang Long and asked.
"In addition to the death of the eldest son Sima Guang, there is still a young son named Sima Chi and a daughter named Sima Xiang." Huang Long said with his fists clenched.
"Passing on Jun's decree, he ordered Sima Xin to be posthumously named General Wei and Marquis of Yicheng, and posthumously named his son Sima Guang as General of Pingnan; His son Sima Chi was named the captain of Yicheng and the marquis of Yicheng. Shangguan Yin Feng said and asked Huanglong to send the order back to Nanyang.
