Chapter 32: Encircling the Point for Reinforcements and Besieging Wei to Save Zhao
The reason why Tang Xidong sent the rebels to the city with disabilities also had a crucial purpose, that is, to test Wang Jiayin's reaction.
Let's see if the other party will go out of town again.
But for a whole day, Tang Xidong did not wait for any reaction from the expected other party.
Wars are fought with money, food, people, and people.
Tang Xidong guessed that the war was developing as Zhang Xiahai expected, and perhaps a large number of officers and soldiers were coming at this moment.
It's been a day, and it's not good for him to wait, so Tang Xidong summoned Jia Hu and Zhang Xiahai to enter the account.
After some deliberation, despite the dissuasion of Zhang Xiahai and Jia Hu, Tang Xidong decided to leave the baggage team, archers, sword and shield bearers, and four artillery pieces to guard the camp to create a momentum of full manpower.
Zhang Xiahai and Jia Hu respectively brought muskets and artillery to the important passes to ambush and support the defenders.
In order to grasp the movement of the anti-army peripheral reinforcements at the first time.
Tang Xidong sent a large number of scouts and spies to the surrounding dozens of miles to reconnoiter intelligence.
Before dividing the troops, Tang Xidong asked Zhang Xiahai to take the whole battalion of new army soldiers, pretending to be in a posture, and went to Yangcheng City to attack for a while.
The artillery roared, the crowd surged, and it looked like it was about to attack, but under the unity and cooperation of the anti-army, the thief army was finally repelled.
It's a pity that not many enemy troops were killed or wounded.
After Mingjin returned to the camp, as soon as it was dark, Tang Xidong asked Zhang Xiahai and Jia Hu to leave with the soldiers at night.
Tang Xidong, on the other hand, rushed to the city again with many torches from his soldiers, made a posture of attacking the whole army, fired a few cannons, blew up a city wall, and shouted for half an hour before leading the army back to the camp.
And so it went on for another day.
Calculating the time, Zhang Xiahai and Jia Hu had already rushed to the ambush site and made arrangements, and at this moment, the enemy army was afraid that they would also meet them.
At night, Tang Xidong led the army again and made a gesture.
The rebels in the city were disturbed several times, but unfortunately the other party only cannon outside the city, shouting to kill, but did not come forward to attack the city.
At dawn on the third day, the spies reported and intercepted the anti-army intelligence, and Wang Jiayin summoned all battalions of anti-army troops to come to the rescue.
Tang Xi Dongton felt a big deal, and originally only wanted to beat Wang Jiayin's own horses guarding the nearby border passes, but he didn't want Wang Jiayin to give up his face to rescue other Shaanxi anti-army forces.
While letting the secret agents pass information to Zhang Xiahai and Jia Hu, Tang Xidong asked his sergeants to prepare for retreat.
The Shaanxi rebels are known as the 36th Battalion, with more than 100,000 people and 5,000 people in the eastern district of Tangxi.
It's better to prepare early.
At noon on the 3rd, Jia Hu and Zhang Xiahai respectively sent people back to send back information.
The two teams of recruits laid their own ambushes, and hit the rebels at Bajiakou and Wanning Mountain to help them, directly crippling the enemy and fleeing countless times.
and confiscated weapons and food.
Tang Xidong once again ordered him to march to the valley where he had assembled, assemble at midnight, and then return to Binh Duong.
At night, Tang Xidong led his men and horses, leaving a brightly lit empty camp, quietly evacuated from Pingyang City, and went to the valley where he had camped before, preparing to meet Zhang Xiahai and Jia Hu.
At this time, in Yangcheng, Wang Jiayin was still happily looking at the information sent back by the scouts, and the battalions of troops came to Yangcheng to help.
This thief is also good for him, he has been invited several times before, but the kings of each mountain are unwilling to come, just afraid that he will swallow up their little men, and now 5,000 people will attract all the battalions to come, and when the time comes, when the time comes, even if he can't eat them all, at least he can still subdue a few weaker mountains and strengthen himself.
But looking at it, Wang Jiayin was unhappy, because there was no reply from King Chuang and the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong, Wang Jiayin's face was gloomy and he recruited the pro-soldiers who were in charge of going to the two places, asked carefully, and listened to the words of the pro-soldiers, Wang Jiayin's long face instantly stretched longer, and his face was cloudy.
It is said that Wang Jiayin's personal guards went to the camp of King Chuang and the camp of Zhang Xianzhong, and handed over Wang Jiayin's handwritten letter.
King Gao Yingxiang summoned his general Gu Junen and invited Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king, to come to the meeting.
In fact, at this time, as one of the many forces in the Shaanxi anti-army, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong both had the intention of competing for the big leader. Wang Jiayin is in trouble, the two do not have the heart to save each other, but it is against morality not to save them, and then both of them know that entering Wang Jiayin's territory is the initiative to go, after all, the army needs grain and grass, and Wang Jiayin controls the grain and grass, and his right to speak is in the hands of the other party.
So there is a contradiction, and the left and right are in a dilemma.
At this time, Gao Yingxiang's general Gu Junen came up with an idea, which made Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong both applaud.
Gu Junen's strategy was to encircle Wei and save Zhao.
The thieves in Pingyang besieged Yangcheng, and all battalions went to the rescue, the number of people is enough, why don't we find another way, take advantage of the other party's main force entrenched in Yangcheng, select the elite main force, and kill directly to Pingyang, so that the danger of Yangcheng is rescued?
That's what he said, but Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong are both treacherous and cunning people, how can they not know what Gu Junen meant by his words.
This Pingyang thief is powerful, and the firearms in his hands are even sharper, and Cao Wenzhao was defeated, and now there are 5,000 people who make Wang Jiayin suffer, which shows how powerful the firearms in his hands are?
The other party's nest is in Pingyang, and now he is leading the army to come, and tens of thousands of Wang Jiayin who can fight are complaining bitterly, sacrificing his face to rescue, indicating that the main force must be dispatched, so Wang Jiayin is contained, the other party's nest must be empty, if you can directly smash Pingyang at this time, you will definitely be able to occupy the world that the other party has worked hard to open up, and the most important thing is the other party's firearms manufacturing, as long as you have sharp firearms, you can master strong weapons, and then the world will ......
Wei Wei rescued Zhao, it sounded good in the open, and it could still benefit in secret.
One is a double bird!
After some discussion, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong have agreed to this.
Before Pingyang was laid, the two began to divide the apples, you are half and I am half, hello and I am good!
It seems like Pingyang City, just a stone's throw away.
So, half a day later, Gao Yingxiang took his elite cavalry and Zhang Xianzhong to make peace, and each side sent 5,000 elites, gathered 10,000 people, and headed towards Pingyang.
This is Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong's response to Wang Jiayin.
Wang Jiayin is not stupid, how can he not know that the two of them have a good calculation, even counting themselves, how can he not make him angry and resentful?
But right now, his Yang City is about to be lost, and he can only watch the two of them pick fruits.
Hmph, you have Pingyang, what are the firearms, Lao Tzu has got the men and horses, wait until I subdue the mountains of the battalions, and then I will have more than 100,000 combatable soldiers under my command, and I want you two to look good.
Wang Jiayin was inexorably resentful, gritting his teeth and thinking about it.
At this time, Tang Xidong had already made peace with Zhang Xiahai and Jia Hu, galloping in the starry night, along the trail when he came, and rushed back to Pingyang Mansion.
It's just that he didn't know that when he calculated Wang Jiayin, he was also calculated by Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong.
