Chapter 16 Yancheng 3
"I hope so!"
Geng Liao sighed in a deep voice and said: "Send people to the Yancheng County Guard, let them give us the necessary armament for Emperor Xiaowu as soon as possible, this place, I am not willing to stay for a moment!" ”
Yancheng County Guard, Sima Zhuo was dizzy from the current situation, and Meng Weishan, the county guard, said in a low voice: "My lord, what do you mean by His Royal Highness King Qin's approach?" didn't explain a word, put a good Yancheng camp and didn't enter, but went to Yandong's outpost town to station, Weng City has been broken, he is stationed there, he will inevitably engage the barbarian army, as for the old general Qin, he actually stood still and sat back and watched Wengcheng City break, what does this mean? Is it possible to put the boundary of hundreds of miles of Yancheng to the barbarians to run horses? ”
"You know what?" Sima Zhuo reprimanded Meng Weishan: "The old general Qin Yi is reluctant to come here because His Royal Highness the King of Qin and Emperor Xiaowu are here, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin was ordered to bring the Hexi Army to defend against the enemy. Who would dare to command such a hot potato? It was originally very simple to go north to defend against the enemy, but it was messed up by His Majesty's inexplicable will! ”
Sima Zhuo seemed to be irritable, and when he realized that he had made a mistake, he immediately said loudly: "Go, call the commander of the marching capital camp and all the captains and generals of the army, and I want to discuss the supply of armaments for Emperor Xiaowu!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
After Meng Weishan left, Sima Zhuo secretly thought about the last expression of His Royal Highness King Qin, but he still couldn't fully figure out the thoughts of King Qin, did he really have no idea about Emperor Xiaowu?
About half a quarter later, the officers of Yancheng came to the county guard's mansion, and the commander of the marching battalion made Wei Chang and other soldiers come to the palace, Sima Zhuo sat on the top and said: "Now that Wengcheng has been broken, there is no hope for reinforcements from the Liaoyuan army, so what should I do?" ”
Wei Chang thought for a while, and responded: "My lord, my Yancheng patrol and defense and armor battalion have a total of more than 10,000 people, and the attack is insufficient, if the command is proper, it should be no problem to defend the city and protect itself, and His Royal Highness King Qin's light feather battalion has more than 10,000 light cavalry combat strength, with them stationed in Yandong Outpost Town, we can have no worries about the barbarians from the east!" There are more than 35,000 new Ding of Xiaowu Emperor, even if it is not good, as long as you cooperate with the defense of the city, you can also defend it for three or two months, and when the heavy snow falls, when the villages outside the city have nothing to plunder, the barbarians will naturally retreat! ”
Hearing this, everyone in the court agreed, but this result made Sima Zhuo scold in his heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
King Qin's light feather battalion, Emperor Xiaowu's more than 30,000 soldiers, are they something they can rely on? Since the King of Qin dared to lead the army alone and stationed outside, he was unwilling to wade into the troubled waters of Yancheng, and his last seemingly seemingly unreasonable attitude made Sima Zhuo very difficult, as for Emperor Xiaowu, how deep and shallow his combat power was, and he was attacked a few days ago and scattered thousands of soldiers to see its roots, if he really counted on them, the gate of Yancheng would have to be broken in a few months, and it was unknown whether Geng Liao was willing to help them defend Yancheng.
It's just that it's not easy to be alarmist at the moment, and the important officials in the Xiaowu Emperor's army came here to discuss the armament of the Xiaowu Emperor, so Sima Zhuo turned the conversation around: "Everyone, after the matter of defending the city is released, now let's talk about how to supply the armaments of the new army of the Xiaowu Emperor?" ”
"This..."The official in charge of Yancheng immediately looked embarrassed: "My lord, if it is ten thousand people, it is easy to say, but right now, the armament of more than 30,000 people, and the time is so short, it really makes the lower officials a little embarrassed?" ”
Hearing this, Sima Zhuo glared angrily and said in a deep voice: "Why? Yancheng has not fought for ten years, is it possible that tens of thousands of people are not equipped with armaments? ”
"No, my lord misunderstood the meaning of the lower official?" The envoy immediately bowed and confessed: "The treasury is fully armed, but there has been no war for many years, and many of them are no longer usable... So... So... In a short period of time, I am afraid that we will not be able to gather 35,000 sets of armaments..."
In the end, the priest was already frightened, and Rao is counselor Meng Weishan whispered to relieve the siege: "My lord, in fact, if you think about it carefully, we can't blame us for this matter, who would have thought that the barbarians who have not dared to move for ten years will go south at this time, this is an omission, and moreover, when the barbarian army breaks through the blue wolf in the north, if the Liaoyuan army and the Hexi army immediately cross the north and march north, and stop those guys on the north bank of the Liaohe River, we will not affect the war, and more than a month ago, we just supplied a batch of armaments to the Liaoyuan army, and the treasury was empty, so there will be a Xiaowu Emperor again." , tens of thousands of people's armaments are really difficult to rely on our city and region alone, my lord, so far, we can only try our best to supply them, presumably General Geng will not say much? Otherwise, why didn't he ask His Royal Highness King Qin for armaments? That Highness is much richer than we are..."
By the afternoon, the Xiaowu Emperor's heavy officials had received more than 10,000 sets of armaments in Yancheng, and in addition, they were all scattered armor, swords, spears, longbows, and a small number of feather arrows.
After Lin Xiu took the brothers to receive the scattered armaments, his brows immediately furrowed, on the battlefield, armaments are his life, but looking at the rusty blades in his hands, how can this make the brothers not angry?
"The brute raised by the son of a bitch actually treats us like this? It's pushing us down the cliff! ”
Li Hu held the horizontal knife in his hand and scolded non-stop, which attracted the scolding of the patrol guards.
"Brother Xiu, isn't it too much to do this!" Lin Huaiping looked at the longbow in his hand, the bowstring was already wrinkled, such a longbow would break if he used a little force, how could he shoot an arrow to kill the enemy, but Lin Xiu couldn't do anything, they were just a group of soldiers, what could be done?
In the tent of the Chinese army, Geng Liao was furious by the armament situation, but after the anger passed, Geng Liao had already guessed something, and then he said: "Order the whole army, set off immediately!" ”
Gu Kai was stunned: "General, at this time, Weng City has been broken, and the barbarian army has been rampant on the land hundreds of miles around Yancheng, we are not stationed in this big camp for defense, where else do we want to go?" Fighting against brute cavalry with foot soldiers, the consequences are unpredictable! ”
"Here? I'm afraid it will be more dangerous, if my guess is right, His Royal Highness the King of Qin must have something to do with this Yancheng County Guard, otherwise why would he supply such armaments? ”
Geng Liao's words made Gu Kaizhi think of a deeper meaning, that is, His Royal Highness King Qin will not touch Emperor Xiaowu, but he will not aid Emperor Xiaowu, because they are His Majesty's soldiers!
"But where are we going right now? Emperor Xiaowu's army is weak and can't withstand a big battle! Gu Kaizhi was worried.
"I don't know, but Your Majesty trusts me and asks me to command the Martial Emperor, I have to make an appearance, besides, not all elite soldiers crawl out of the sea of blood! Command the whole army, you can set off, we go to Liaoqiu, where is located in the Lanhe Valley and the junction of the source town, and the mountainous terrain, where the brute cavalry will be hindered to fight, it is beneficial to our Xiaowu Emperor! ”
