Chapter 0024: Defend Ancheng to the death

Anseong, Lanneung-gun. Zheng Yannian, the fourth-grade general www.biquge.info of the Dazhen Empire, led 10,000 mighty tiger guards to garrison here.

Ancheng, the north and south sides of the mountains are high and dense, Zhao wants to attack the hinterland of Lanling, must capture this city.

The three large cities captured by the border army of Zhao State in one day were tacitly abandoned by Huan Zhiru.

The three big cities border the Zhao State and are located on the plains, even if they hold on, they cannot stop the footsteps of the Zhao State border army.

Huan Zhiru transferred more than half of the garrison troops in the hinterland of Lanling County to make up more than 30,000 soldiers. The three border cities have no troops to defend at all.

Abandoning the three border cities will inevitably become a stain that the patriarch of the three dynasties, the backbone of the empire, will never be able to erase for the rest of his life. But he didn't hesitate.

The current Emperor of Dazhen, Emperor Wen, once gave him a sword of the Son of Heaven.

In order to meet this situation, let Huan Zhiru have the right to transfer troops.

……

Imperial Palace, Shang Study. Emperor Wen carefully reviewed the chapter.

At this time, the chief attendant reported to him, and Taiwei Wumu asked to see him.

Emperor Wen asked the chief attendant to welcome Wu Mu in and watch the seat. But he didn't put down the music in his hand, and he didn't raise his head and ask Wu Mu until he finished reading the music in his hand.

"The captain came here at this time, but the war in Padang has changed?"

Wu Mu's expression was serious, and he had a strong killing aura. got up and saluted, and Emperor Wen waved his hand to signal that it was not necessary.

"Enlighten my emperor, the old minister received a letter from Dazai Kuaima, explaining to the old minister the transfer of Weihuwei. Lanling has undergone great changes!

Wu Zhenguo, the general of Weihuwei, also sent an urgent report. Zhao Guobing committed Langya County! ”

……

The officials of the Dazhen Empire were constructed, with the three dukes as the head and the nine qings as the second.

The three dukes, namely Dazai Huan Zhiru, Taiwei Wumu, and Yushi Dafu Guo Huai.

Dazai Huan Zhiru is responsible for assisting the emperor and handling the affairs of the Dazhen Empire, and is the emperor's left hand. Taiwei Wumu is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. It is the right arm of the emperor.

Guo Huai, the imperial historian, played the chapter and supervised hundreds of officials. The three dukes are not subordinate to each other, and are directly under the control of the emperor.

There are nine kings below, namely: Tingwei, who is in charge of justice. Equivalent to the supreme court of the earth's afterlife; The internal history of the Su Zhi, also known as the Great Si Nong. In charge of the country's finances, taxes.

Fengchang, in charge of the sacrificial rites of the temple, is the head of the nine Qings; Pawn Guest, who deals with the affairs of the various peoples of the empire, as well as foreign relations. To put it bluntly, a diplomat.

Lang Zhongling, the emperor's attendant guard; Shaofu, in charge of royal tribute, royal private income, and government handicraft workshops.

Captain, who was in charge of the palace guards; The servant, in charge of the palace chariots and horses; Zongzheng, in charge of the affairs of the emperor's clan.

In addition to the three princes and nine qing, there is also a group of people in Shangshutai, which cannot be ignored.

Shang Shutai, the emperor's personal subordinate, has not yet been included in the court.

This group of people is under the command of Shang Shuling, and there are left servants and right servants under them. Shangshu Zuocheng, Shangshu Right. Six Cao Shangshu, Shangshu Shilang and so on.

……

Although Huan Zhiru is the head of the Three Princes, he also has the Sword of the Son of Heaven in his body. However, when mobilizing troops and horses, it is still necessary to explain the reason to the captain.

Emperor Wen's face sank. Said to the chief chamberlain.

"Go! Summoning Shang Shuling! ”

After a while, Shang Shu ordered Wang Lang to come in a hurry, and after saluting Emperor Wen, he hurriedly said.

"My emperor, Dazai has sent an urgent report for the crime. The border army of Zhao sent 50,000 troops to Lanling. Dazai gave up the three border cities and ordered General Zheng Yannian's headquarters to guard Ancheng with 10,000 mighty tigers! ”

After Shang Shu ordered Wang Lang to finish speaking, he quietly glanced at Emperor Wen and Taiwei Wumu.

After Taiwei Wumu listened. Breathing a sigh of relief, he said to Emperor Wen.

"My Emperor! Zhao wanted to attack the hinterland of Lanling, and Ancheng was the top priority. Dazai does not hesitate to self-destruct, this method will be able to protect the hinterland of Lanling for a while! ”

Emperor Wen is a virtuous emperor, and he has some understanding of the cities on the border of Dazhen. In such a situation, the three border cities cannot be defended, and he knows it in his heart.

Huan Zhiru immediately made a decision and gave up the three border cities. After hitting the troops in Anseong, you will be able to hold out until the empire sends troops to help.

"Dazai's method is indeed to protect the hinterland of Lanling. But the reputation is hard to protect! ”

Emperor Wen was a little helpless. Huan Zhiru, who ended the Rebellion of the Eight Kings and helped the great generals, had to bear such a stigma in his later years.

"For the country and for the people! This is Dazai's belief. The old minister implored our emperor to send troops as soon as possible to recapture the three border cities. In this way, the stigma borne by Dazai will be reduced a lot! ”

Taiwei Wu Mu said with deep meaning.

Today's Zhen Empire is still able to maintain that ethereal orthodox status, Dazai Huan knows Confucianism, and Taiwei Wumu has made great contributions.

Wu Mu is not as famous as Huan Zhiru all over the world, because of the atmosphere of Dazhen emphasizing literature over martial arts.

Otherwise, with Huan Zhiru alone, without the help of Wu Mu, the person in charge of the army, how to end the rebellion of the Eight Kings.

"What the captain said is reasonable! Come on, convene the ministers, and discuss the study! ”

……

Ancheng, Zheng Yannian was dressed in armor, and he stood at the head of the city with a killing overflow. A spy from the army came to report.

"General, fifty miles away, I found the border army of Zhao State, which is coming to Ancheng."

Hearing the spies' report, the murderous aura on Zheng Yannian's body was a little stronger. Said to the guards beside him.

"The Decree of the Mission! Order my mighty tiger Wei Erlang to prepare to defend the city, and order the city guard of Ancheng to ensure the logistics of our army! ”

About an hour later, Huo Si'an, the general of the border army of Zhao State, personally led 50,000 border troops to besiege Ancheng.

At this time, it was already evening, and Huo Si'an ordered the army to set up camp. There was no attack on Anseong.

At the head of Ancheng City, a deputy general said to Zheng Yannian.

"General, Zhao Thief is now sleepy and lacking, why don't you take the opportunity to send troops to frustrate his spirit?"

Zheng Yannian sighed and said.

"There are less than 1,000 cavalry in my Huwei Guard, and there is no cavalry, so it is easy to be bitten by Zhao thieves!"

Weihuwei's 10,000-strong army is almost all foot soldiers. At this time, after the two sides fought, it was likely that they would be dragged by the Zhao army and would not be able to return to the city.

Zheng Yannian looked at the dense and rising tent of the Zhao Guobian military camp, and his fighting spirit was boiling.

"Look at this situation, the Zhao army will not attack the city today, let the sons and daughters raise their spirits, and fight to the death with the Zhao thief tomorrow."

After speaking, he went down to the city with his personal guards. went straight to the city guard, and the army fought, fighting with grain and grass supplies. I have to explain it to Anseong Castle Guard again.

On April 19, early in the morning, Zhao Jun, who had rested for the night, regained his strength. Huo Si'an ordered, siege the city!

When the war broke out, the archers of the Zhao army fired thousands of arrows to suppress the mighty tiger guards at the head of Ancheng City.

The foot soldiers were in groups of twenty, each carrying a ladder to the wall of Anseong.

Zheng Yannian, as a four-rank general, has experienced a lot of battles, and his command is determined.

"Watch out for arrows, archers, bed crossbowmen firing back!"

Dazhen's bed crossbow requires five Hercules Zira. Equipped with an adult's calf-thick bed crossbow arrow. Twenty bed crossbows fired in unison, and the crossbow arrows left the string with the sound of "woo" breaking the wind, and rushed into the Zhao army's archer camp.

The Zhao army's archer camp seemed to have been combed through, and there were more than a dozen open spaces. The calf-thick crossbow bolts are covered with corpses of minced flesh!
