Chapter 167: Two Cities in a Row
Wang Hong's meritorious service is earnest, and Wei Jie's reason is known, not entirely because Wang Hong is greedy for merit, but because there is always a thorn in his heart, that is Huan Xuan!
Huan Xuan forced Wang Tanzhi to death above the court, which also caused the Wang family in Wuyi Lane to be much less powerful than before, and completely became a vassal of the Xie family.
Although there is the support of the Xie and Wang families behind them, the army has always been a place to speak with military achievements, and there is only one way in front of Wang Hong, which is to continue to make military achievements and become a person with real power among the soldiers of Beifu!
Wei Jie's knowledge is that even if Wang Hong is injured, he will go into battle with an injury, so he simply does not persuade him, what if he recovers the credit of Xin'an, and gives him up?
When attacking Xin'an, Wang Hong seemed to be a lot more careful, he first sent scouts to find out the reality of the city, knowing that there was a shortage of food in the city, so he gave up the way to attack, should block the main road out of the city for heavy troops, and then cruising outside the city with cavalry, and when the food in the city was exhausted, Xin'an City would be self-defeating!
Wei Jie was not in a hurry, whether it was marching or setting traps, Liu Yu needed time, he was thinking about what Liu Yu said to him before leaving. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Shubao, Liu Yu will take these two thousand Beifu soldiers and stay east of Linhai Yongjia until the Heavenly Master Dao army comes!"
He didn't seem to be optimistic about Wei Jie's plan, and between his words, he seemed to think that there were still variables in it, but he was sure that the Heavenly Master Dao would inevitably be defeated and retreat overseas!
The guard rank made this whole plan under Liu Muzhi's detailed consideration, and the combat effectiveness, morale, and current situation of the soldiers on both sides were taken into account, and for a while, it was difficult for the guard rank to think of the flaws.
This is probably the so-called authority fan!
Wei Jie knew that Liu Yu should just be an intuition, so he just left this sentence without explaining the reason in detail!
After Xin'an was trapped for seven days, the city finally ran out of food, and the Heavenly Master Dao rebel army defending the city had no choice but to scatter birds and beasts, and abandoned the city, Wang Hong took Xin'an City without spending a single soldier.
After resting for another day in Xin'an, Wei Jiehe and Wang Hong left only a few hundred Beifu soldiers to maintain law and order, and once again led the army to Wu County to join Tan Daoji's men and horses.
At that time, the news of the destruction of Dongyang Xin'an City had reached Wu County, and there were more than 10,000 Heavenly Master Dao rebel troops in Wu County, but they were suppressed in the city by Tan Daoji's 2,000 Beifu soldiers, unable to move a bit.
Fang Dayou, the general of Wu County, is the general of the Heavenly Master Dao headquarters, good at defending the city, knowing that defending the city without attacking the camp is the reason for making a decision, Tan Daoji just arrived outside the city of Wu County, he personally led the army out of the city to attack.
However, the difference in combat effectiveness between the two armies is really worlds apart, Fang Dayou led 5,000 troops out of the city, and Tan Daoji led more than 1,000 Beifu soldiers to meet the enemy, and at the same time ordered the remaining Beifu soldiers to build fortifications, and dealt with it extremely calmly.
The 5,000 Heavenly Master Dao army, against the 1,000 Beifu soldiers, not only failed to take advantage of the slightest advantage, but was defeated in one fell swoop, and chased and killed until the city gate, almost annihilated, Fang Dayou could only helplessly defend to the death, and Tan Daoji, after the first victory, died down, just built fortifications outside the city of Wu County to prevent the Heavenly Master Dao army from breaking through.
Fang Dayou stood on top of the city tower, looking at the bonfires in the Beifu military camp outside the city, and from time to time there were deafening cheers, he knew that the reinforcements of the Beifu soldiers had arrived, and Wu County would be difficult to defend anymore.
He couldn't help but think of the instructions Sun En gave him before he came to Wu County: "Stick to Wu County and hold on for a month, all the temporarily recruited soldiers will be dismissed, and only more than a thousand Heavenly Master Dao headquarters will be strategically transferred to Yongjia!" ā
Now only half a month has passed, if it is not for the miscalculation of the combat effectiveness of the Beifu soldiers, and the move of attacking the camp in a moment of confusion, it is easy to hold the city for a month with more than 10,000 troops, but now, the defenders have no big advantage in numbers compared to the Beifu soldiers besieging the city!
Logically speaking, if you want to storm a city, the number of soldiers on the attacking side must be at least two to three times that of the defenders, so that there is a possibility of storming the city, but this is based on the combat effectiveness of both sides at one level.
Not to mention these temporarily recruited soldiers, even the soldiers of the Heavenly Master Dao Headquarters who were less than a thousand under his command were afraid that the Beifu soldiers could also be used as one, and at this time, Fang Dayou had lost the confidence to continue to defend and wanted to transfer to Yongjia strategically in advance.
Fang Dayou finally has some real materials, and he is also a dedicated person, he stepped up the city defense on the one hand, and sent people to send it to express mail, report to Sun Tai Sun En, and ask for instructions on the transfer in advance.
At this time, the fortifications of the Beifu soldiers were already full of laughter.
Tan Daoji's ability to defend the ranks has long been known, only in terms of leading the troops to fight, Tan Daoji's ability is definitely above Wang Hong, which can be seen from the layout of Tan Daoji's fortifications, advancing can attack, retreat can defend, both offensive and defensive.
Tan Daoji's execution ability is also excellent, although he killed almost half of the defenders of Wu County as soon as he arrived in Wu County, but he did not rush to attack the city, but stationed outside the city step by step, waiting for Wei Jie and Wang Hong to come to rendezvous.
"Dao Ji, you should take Wu County in one go, so that at this moment, we should be drinking and celebrating in Wu County City, instead of being in the wilderness on the outskirts of this city!" Wang Hong said with a smile, in his opinion, the Heavenly Master Dao, from the generals to the soldiers, is not a group of rabble.
"The name of the defender of Wu County is Fang Dayou, this person is a disciple who Sun En has cultivated for many years, and he is not comparable to ordinary rogues!" Tan Daoji has an upright temperament, and he has always told the truth, and it is the same at this moment, and he has no scruples because it is Wang Hong who is speaking at this time.
He can be called the fifth son of Jiankang along with several other people, not because he is good at slapping horses like Zhuge Changmin, but because he is really talented and learned.
"Fang Dayou took advantage of the time when Dao Ji'an was camped to lead the troops to sneak attack, deeply in line with the way of the soldiers, not to be underestimated, Dao Ji can win the first battle, it is completely because of the soldiers who attacked the camp led by him, and the rabble that will be temporarily put together at that time will be more powerful than the elite of the Northern Mansion, and the gap is so big that it is difficult to calculate!"
"Fang Dayou is a talent, if he weren't for the enemy, he would never make this mistake, just by looking at the fact that he is now said to be stubborn and can't die out of the city, you can see one or two!"
The two have been friends for many years, and Wang Hong, who is Tan Daoji, naturally knows that he doesn't think it is a pestle at the moment, but his face shows a little dignified, and things don't seem to be as simple as he thinks.
Wei Jie's eyes saw it, and he smiled slightly and said, "Dao Ji thinks, can Wu Jun attack?" If it is a strong attack, when is the best time to attack the city? ā
