Chapter 606 Dingguo Army Operations

On the sixth day of the lunar month, the Huaixi thieves who had been ravaging Luoyang City for five days finally withdrew, and at this time, Niu Gao also led the army to Yingchang Mansion Changshe, and listened to the report of Yang Zaixing and others, Niu Gao frowned and thought hard. At this time, there is not much time left for Niu Gao, Wang Qing will not stay in Luoyang City for a long time, once the looting is almost done, he will definitely evacuate quickly.

What kind of bandits are the most difficult to exterminate in the world? It's not a thief like Fang La, Fang La seems to be strong, but after a long time, he can't fight against the imperial court, but it is a rogue like Wang Qing, but it is the most terrifying, these rogues have no fixed place, and they start to flee as soon as they are in danger, and they are sabotaging while fleeing along the way, but it is really a group of locusts that are ruined wherever they go. Wang Qing is not the most hateful, the most hateful rogue like Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng in the current and later generations, if they can't fight, they will flee, if they can't escape, they will surrender, and if they fall and then rebel, it is simply capricious. This is not the most hateful, when fleeing, the arson army looted the place, and at once countless refugees were added, saying that they were righteous soldiers, but what they did was really hateful.

Niu Gao knew that if Wang Qing could not be destroyed this time, it would be difficult to destroy Wang Qing after Wang Qing fled south. Once Wang Qing leaves Luoyang, he will inevitably go south, or he will turn east to south, and as for north and west, it is absolutely impossible. To the west, enter the boundary of Yuzhou, and face the Dingguo army? To the north, although there is no problem in a short period of time, it can only be active in the area east of the river, and further north is [the border armies of all roads, once the imperial court deploys heavy troops in the two capitals, the border armies of all roads shrink the east of the river and carry out encirclement and suppression. Wang Qing is the turtle in the urn. The wings also flew south. So. In any case, Wang Qing's only way to survive was to go south to Xiangfan, thousands of miles southeast of the mountains, but it was a natural barrier for Wang Qing to survive.

"General Xiao, the general promised you 5,000 soldiers and horses, can you be sure of taking the southern Dengzhou City within three days?" Niu Gao looked at Xiao Yue with a stern expression, but Xiao Yue did not answer immediately. He thought about it for a while before he shouted, "General Niu, don't worry, Xiao will take Dengzhou within three days, Dengzhou will not fall, Xiao should die in Dengzhou City." ”

"Okay, General Xiao, whether Wang Qing can be eliminated this time depends on whether the general can take Dengzhou City, in addition, Niu assigned Guan Sheng, Shi Wengong, and Deng Yuanjue to General Xiao. Does General Xiao have any other requirements now? ”

"General Niu, Xiao also wants all the bed crossbows in the army!" Xiao Yue knows the importance of Dengzhou. So it's also what to ask for. If Dengzhou can be taken, it will definitely be able to block Wang Qing's way south, but if he can't take it, no matter how much the Dingguo army encircles and suppresses, Wang Qing still has a way to escape. Asking for a bed crossbow, naturally you have some ideas, as for whether it can work, it can only depend on the situation.

Niu Gao did not hesitate to give all the bed crossbows to Xiao Yue, and only after Xiao Yue led the troops to set off to the south did he let people send a message to Zhao Yougong. When Niu Gao sent Xiao Yue to attack Dengzhou after the news reached Mianchi, Zhao Yougong understood Niu Gao's plan, almost on the same day, Zheng Biao, Qian Lin and Hu Yanqing sent troops to Yiyang, and Du Bai's army of 30,000 confronted ten miles north of Yiyang City, at the same time, Niu Gao's soldiers divided into two routes, one was led by Lin Chong, and went around to the southeast of Dengzhou, while Niu Gao personally led the army to storm Ruzhou City in the south of Yingyang. Wei He, who was stationed in Yingyang City, heard that Niu Gao's more than 10,000 troops were attacking Ruzhou, and he was immediately frightened, if Ruzhou was lost, his Wei He's way to the south would be blocked, of course, he could also go west through Yichuan to join the king, but who could guarantee that the Dingguo army would not fight Yichuan?

At the end of the sixth month of the fourth year of Xuanhe, Guanzhong Dingnan was under control, Qin princess Xiao Zhiyun led 3,000 cavalry to raid Yichuan, Yichuan guard general He Ji sent people to pass Wang Qing, while leading the troops to meet the battle, Yichuan is a small city, He Ji can not resist the iron hooves of the Dingguo army at all, just one hour, He Ji soldiers were defeated and fled south, Yichuan fell. He Ji escaped fast enough, but after all, he was unlucky, not long after leaving Yichuan, he ran into Shi Bao who came from Ruzhou, Shi Bao didn't say a word, and cut He Ji's head with a knife. Yichuan fell, and not long after, the city of Ruzhou, which was garrisoned by only 3,000 people, was also broken through by the Dingguo army.

The speed of the Dingguo army was too fast, and by the time Wang Qing reacted, Yichuan, Ruzhou, and Yingyang had already fallen one after another, and before they knew it, the three places were connected together, completely sealing the southeast area of Luoyang. What does Dingguo Jun want to do? In fact, the intention is very simple, this is to make a huge net, and the net of hundreds of thousands of Huaixi soldiers near Luoyang. After hearing the fall of Yingyang, Wang Qing shuddered unconsciously, and he thought of the bloody battle in Fumin Town back then, and the same was true of the Dingguo Army that time. Last time, the Dingguo Army broke through the Wuguan Pass and cut off the back road of the army, this time, Wang Qing didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, the Dingguo Army was not those Xijing soldiers and horses, they fought bravely and ruthlessly. The three places fell, and more than 20,000 people in the Qian Yi and Geng Wen departments stationed in Dengfeng and Yong'an were in danger.

Wang Qing would not be stupid enough to attack Yingyang and open a bloody road for Yongan and Dengfeng's soldiers and horses, and the Dingguo Army probably wanted him to do this at this time. A carriage came slowly, and there was a beautiful woman sitting in the carriage, Wang Qing's face was gloomy, and when he could see this woman, his mood was much more relaxed, and he called Shangguan Yi and others, and said with a stern expression, "Order the whole army to withdraw to Yiyang quickly." ”

"Wang, what about Ruzhou and Yingyang?" Shangguan Yi asked very unwillingly, he didn't understand why the king was so afraid, that the Dingguo army was a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, and he was so bluffing? Now there are 120,000 Huaixi disciples combined, and what about the Dingguo army, which is only 50,000 people when it stops near Luoyang, so why be afraid of them? Now it's good, more than 100,000 people are being chased by 50,000 people, and the most ridiculous thing is that the king doesn't even have the courage to confront the Dingguo army.

Wang Qing glared at Shangguan Yi with an unkind face, why didn't he want to fight a big battle with the Dingguo Army and recapture Yingyang and Ruzhou, but how could he fight? A small confrontation on the bank of the Luoshui River, the Dingguo Army destroyed two-thirds of the Huaixi cavalry, and the land near Luoyang is mostly flat, this kind of place is a paradise for cavalry galloping, there is a fart for many people, Shangguanyi has never seen the strength of the cavalry of the Dingguo Army, when Fumin Town, a thousand people were connected with horses, and tens of thousands of Huaixi children were killed.

"Shangguanyi, are you questioning this king? Hmph, do you think this king doesn't want to fight, this king is saving the lives of his brothers. Before the Dingguo army did not move, that is, Niu Gao's department was trapped in the quagmire of the south of the Yangtze River, Qinfeng Road, Wuzhou, and Yinzhou troops could not be mobilized, so we had to attack Luoyang, and now Niu Gao led his troops to come, and captured Ruzhou and Yingyang in one go, obviously to block the retreat of our army, if we don't hurry up and retreat south, we won't be able to go to Xiangfan. ”

"The king, a certain family is not afraid, please give the king a soldier and horse, and the subordinates are willing to conquer Yichuan for the king, and save the return of the 20,000 troops of Dengfeng and Yong'an!"

Wang Qing couldn't wait to cut Shangguanyi with a knife, but now that the national army is in front, it is really not good to behead his own generals first, but Wang Qing's mind is really not very good, he thought to himself, since Shangguanyi wants to die so much, let's give him a ride. In fact, Wang Qing has always disliked Shangguanyi, this Shangguanyi is conceited and arrogant, which is really annoying, although he is an old brother, but now his identity Wang Qing is different from the past, but he still doesn't know how to respect it, he is really angry, "Since you insist on this, then this king will transfer the old department of the 4,000 Funiu Mountain to you, is it enough?" ”

Shangguan Yi didn't hear the meaning of Wang Qing's words at all, Wang Qing wanted Shangguan Yi to lead his henchmen to Huangquan together, but Shangguan Yi thought that this was Wang Qing's trust, and arched his hands and shouted, "King Xie!" ”

Shangguan Yi led thousands of the old department of Funiu Mountain to Yichuan, but as soon as he left the army, he met Xiao Zhiyun, who had been waiting for a long time, west of Yichuan. Under the ravages of cavalry, Shangguan Yi really led his old department of Funiu Mountain to Huangquan, and after exterminating Shangguan Yi, Xiao Zhiyun did not stop, and it only took two hours to bite Wang Qing's army. Xiao Zhiyun was not in a hurry to attack, so she bit the back of the thieves and the soldiers and horses and nibbled them a little bit. Slowly, the entire army of thieves became chaotic, because none of the people behind wanted to become the sword ghosts of the cavalry of the Dingguo Army, so they were in a hurry to move forward, and the people behind rushed forward, and the formation was chaotic, and the speed of the march immediately slowed down.

Wang Qing hurriedly scolded his mother, picked up a yellow brocade robe, and slashed a few soldiers who were scurrying around, "Calm down for this king, don't mess up, don't mess up"

The army was finally calmed down, but before he could catch his breath, he heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, and a silver torrent appeared in the west. Wang Qing's face became as white as paper, and he even shook his head in disbelief, how could this be? Xiao Zhiyun has 3,000 cavalry in his hand, and more than 3,000 people are under Niu Gao's command, why is there another cavalry of the Dingguo Army near Luoyang? It was not surprising that Wang Qing didn't know at all, because this cavalry of nearly 4,000 people was a new army from Longmen, and the people who commanded the troops were Yue Fei and Wu Liang.

"The iron lock two thousand people are blocked head-on, and the rest of the people are attacking left and right" Yue Fei shouted angrily with a gun, and the four thousand soldiers and horses quickly unfolded in formation, under the sun, the iron lock glowed with a faint light, seeing the Dingguo army arrayed and a chain of horses, Wang Qing's heart tightened, and he shouted, "Withdraw, quickly retreat to the Yishui River, don't entangle!" ”

Wang Qing's real military talent is not much, but he is not a fool, at this time, he desperately ran to Yiyang, can he outrun the cavalry? You can only retreat south to the south of the Yishui River first, and avoid the iron hooves of the cavalry first.

The Iron Lock Horse is not the Iron Float, but when the Horse Charge up, it is a torrent of steel. Through the curtain of the car, a beautiful face is revealed, and on the battlefield where flesh and blood are flying, there is a beautiful woman, what kind of embellishment is this?
