Chapter 138: Baiping Town, Broken
"Drive!"
Qu Cheng, the town guard of Shimen Town, kept beating the war horse under his crotch and headed towards Shimen Mountain on the southwest side of the city.
On Shimen Mountain, 50,000 holes are secretly hidden by the elite of the German army.
Although Qu Cheng hurried towards Shimen Mountain quickly, there was a trace of doubt and anxiety on his face.
"General, I just received news from Lord Liu that the supply of food and grass for the army under Sima Yu has been cut off, and the army has been unable to pull out in a short period of time, and it has lost its hands!"
When he came to the mountain, Qu Cheng went straight to the camp of Zhang Wenhuan, the commander of the army, and reported to him.
"Oh? So fast! Lord Liu personally went out, and things went surprisingly well! ”
Zhang Wenhuan said with joy on his face when he heard this, but his words were full of trust in the Lord Liu he said.
"General!"
Qu Cheng on the side said with a hesitant expression.
"Qu Zhenshou, what's wrong?"
At this time, Zhang Wenhuan saw that there was something wrong with Qu Cheng's face, and wondered.
For this cadre, Zhang Wenhuan still attaches great importance to it.
"General, my subordinates have been stationed in Shimen Town for nearly half a year, and I have done a detailed understanding of the Yangwu Army, which is not only excellent in combat effectiveness, but also has always been quick in intelligence collection and response. And this time there was such a big movement, but Yang Wujun barely reacted much, and his subordinates were worried that there was fraud in it! ”
Qu Cheng pondered for a moment and said slowly.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Qu Zhenshou to know a lot about Yangwujun, but Qu Zhenshou didn't know enough about Lord Liu! We have already done a detailed study of the Yangwu Army's outstanding intelligence capabilities, and its excellent intelligence capabilities rely on the businessmen of the Yangwu Army. Therefore, as early as a few months ago, Lord Liu had already acted secretly, and this time he personally went out to sabotage and control this intelligence force. You said that if most of the members of the Shang Alliance and Shi Gu Changfeng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, leaned on our side, would the Yangwu Army still have such excellent intelligence capabilities? ”
Zhang Wenhuan didn't care when he heard this, and said to Qu Chengdao with a smile.
"If you are not completely sure, the king of Nan will not go all out with the Liangshan army to invade the Yangwu army. Now the reason why Sima Yu can still receive enough information is because we need him to know this information! Before, because of the importance of the matter, only a few of us knew the news, but now that the war is imminent, it is time for you to know, so as not to start a scruple! ”
Looking at the slightly open corners of his mouth, Zhang Wenhuan continued.
This battle can be said to be the battle of the Southern King Kong Youde to suppress all the national fortunes, the 50,000 elite army is already the last mobile force that can be mobilized under the rule of the Southern Palace, and the victory is likely to directly occupy the most prosperous Jumei County and Qilin County of the Yangwu Army, and the defeat will greatly lose the strength, and it is very likely to face the ensuing retaliation of the Yangwu Army.
So, they have been preparing for this battle for months, and now they have finally waited for this best opportunity.
"Thank you, General, for the point!"
Although there was still a hidden uneasiness in his heart, Qu Cheng still respectfully saluted and thanked Zhang Wenhuan.
Of course, the mention and goodwill in Zhang Wenhuan's words are understood, and naturally he can't express them without expression.
"Good! Since this is the case, then Qu Zhenshou should hurry back and prepare for a good life, and tomorrow we will send troops to Baiping Town! Zhang Wenhuan patted Qu Cheng's shoulder and said in high spirits.
"Whoa!"
"Driving~"
"Pedal Pedal ~"
On the galloping road 3 miles away from Baiping Town, a fast horse galloped like lightning, and Jiang Yu looked anxious on horseback.
Jiang Yu, a native of Baiping Town, a member of the scout battalion of the town guard of Baiping Town, was on a routine patrol mission just now, when he suddenly found a large army near Liangting Village under the banner of the German army, the military column stretched for several miles, and there were at least 50,000 people in terms of numbers.
Jiang Yu was so frightened that he hurriedly turned over and ran towards Baiping Town.
As a member of Baiping Town, Jiang Yu watched how Baiping Town developed brick by brick, and there were his relatives, wives, children, friends, and comrades-in-arms in Baiping Town, and he couldn't watch Baiping Town be destroyed in the war.
"Get out of the way!"
Soon, the city wall of Baiping Town appeared in Jiang Yu's sight, some merchants and people were entering the city at the city gate, and the city guards guarding the city were conducting routine inspections and registrations on some outsiders, looking at the crowded crowd at the city gate, Jiang Yu shouted loudly from afar, and ran towards the city gate at a steady pace.
"Huh! It's Jiang Yu's kid, didn't he go to inspect the villages in the south? Looking at his anxious look, could it be that something big happened? ”
A sharp-eyed city guard soldier heard the shouts and saw Jiang Yu through the crowd, and said with a puzzled look on his face.
"No matter what happens, it must be an emergency military situation, evacuate the crowd immediately and let him pass!"
The captain of the city guard squad at the city gate looked stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly gave orders to several city guard soldiers under him.
In the Yangwu Army, delaying military information is a serious crime, and there have been soldiers who have been beheaded for blocking the scout cavalry and delaying the transmission of military information.
"Yes!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
As soon as they heard the word military intelligence, the others did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly began to evacuate the crowd gathered at the city gate.
Jiang Yu, who was riding on a fast horse, did not stop, galloped directly from the city gate, and quickly went in the direction of the town guard's mansion.
"Bell, bell!"
After a while, a violent alarm bell sounded on the wall of Baiping Town, which was several meters high, and a thick smoke rose from the beacon tower.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
"Quick! Fast! Fast! ”
A group of city guard soldiers rushed up the city wall under the leadership of their respective commanders, and some young and strong people also began to run up the city wall under the organization of the town guard officials, some of them had broadswords and longbows in their hands, and some of them were responsible for carrying various military materials such as rolling logs and stones.
The people of Baiping Town, who have finally lived a stable and happy life, do not want to see their hometown fall into the hands of the enemy, and there are still their homes and relatives behind them.
Just when Baiping Town was nervous and fierce in preparing for war, on the gallop road outside Baiping Town, a huge army was rapidly advancing, and their destination was Baiping Town.
Soon, a group of Kong You German soldiers who were marching forward appeared in the eyes of everyone in Baiping Town, and from a distance, it was like a surging wave, surging all over the mountains and fields.
"Surrender or fight?"
The crowd was crowded, and the dense Kong You German soldiers formed a small phalanx, neatly lined up under the city wall of Baiping Town, and a Kong You German general jumped out of his horse and came to a distance of about 150 from the city wall and said loudly, and the passionate voice echoed throughout Baiping Town.
A gust of cold wind blew, irritating people's skin with an icy chill, but it still couldn't withstand the chill in the hearts of the defenders and people on the wall of Baiping Town.
In the face of the German army like a sea of people, they were like a lonely boat in the sea, in danger of being destroyed at any time.
"Swear to live and die with Baiping Town, release arrows!"
Looking at the German army with guns and halberds below, a look of struggle flashed on Bai Zhe's face, and after several changes, he finally turned into resoluteness, pointing at the German envoy of Kong Youde in the distance and shouting, ordered. The dense attack of arrows frightened the negotiating Kong You, and the German envoy fled.
"Attack!"
Seeing this, Zhang Wenhuan directly and coldly issued a military order.
On December 24, the second year of the Great Controversy, the German army of Kongyou in Shimen Town fought undeclared war on the Yangwu army, and the guerrilla general Zhang Wenhuan under the command of Nanwangfu attacked Baiping Town in Jumei County of the Yangwu Army with 50,000 troops.
The battle lasted less than half a day, and the town of Baiping, which had only 300 city guards, was broken.
